MINSK (
BelTA) – Belarusian crypto banks will use 26 currencies and conduct 11 types of transactions, BelTA learned from First Deputy Chairman of the Board of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus (NBRB) Aleksandr Yegorov during the Digital Banking 2026 conference.
Decree No.19 “On crypto banks and certain matters of control in the sphere of digital signs (tokens)” was signed in Belarus. “As far as crypto banks are concerned, there are a number of legislative acts that have to be submitted by the National Bank. We have prepared them. There is a joint resolution with the government, and there are also documents that have to be adopted jointly with the Secretariat of the Supervisory Board of the Hi-Tech Park. At the latest session a document was adopted that determines which crypto currencies can be used by crypto banks, what transactions can be carried out, and the procedure for handling these transactions. The procedure for handling the transactions is the most important part since it will determine, among other things, the accounting that will be established, the method for calculating various performance indicators, and the stability indicators of the crypto bank,” said Aleksandr Yegorov.
“As for currencies, about 26 currencies have been chosen. The most popular are Bitcoin, Ethereum, TON (Toncoin), and SOL (Solana). They are included in the list of crypto currencies that can be used. Stablecoins are included. Accordingly, for now we see these 26 currencies,” the first deputy chairman of the NBRB Board said.
Eleven types of transactions have also been identified. These include crypto deposits, crypto loans, crypto collateral, staking operations, transfer of crypto currency from one individual or legal entity to another individual or legal entity, the ability of the crypto banks to issue their own tokens, exchange, storage of crypto currency, and so on. “These are the 11 main types of transactions that have been determined. However, the list is not yet closed,” he explained.
Aleksandr Yegorov also drew attention to the fact that during the joint session with the Hi-Tech Park it was noted that this document would be “living” and would be supplemented as work with investors progresses and as additional ideas emerge.
