The National Bank of Ukraine is mulling over the possibility of introducing blockchain-based electronic hryvnias rather than its own cryptocurrency.
The amount of private transfers of money from abroad to Ukraine in the nine months of 2017 was $5.192 billion, which was 29.6%, or $1.187 billion, up on the same period of 2016, according to the National Bank of Ukraine.
Polish Deputy Minister, Undersecretary of State for Security Bartosz Cichocki says Ukrainians working in Poland transferred PLN 8 billion, or US$2.24 billion, to Ukraine in 2016, according to an UNIAN correspondent, reporting from a briefing in Kyiv on September 19.
