A TCC officer has been caught up in a crypto scandal: following the uproar, ETH disappeared from his declaration
This is evidenced by the data from Roman Danilyshyn’s annual and amended declarations, published in the NACP register.
Danilyshyn submitted his initial annual declaration for 2025 on 20 March 2026. In it, he was listed as an officer in the civil-military cooperation department of the Sviatoshyn District Territorial Centre for Recruitment and Social Support. In the section on intangible assets, he declared Ethereum cryptocurrency – 4,716.24 ETH, acquired on 22 August 2025 via Exmo, with a stated value of 195,016 UAH.
It was this declaration that caused a stir in the media and on social media. Incrypted noted that, given the amount of Ethereum, the stated sum appeared to be significantly understated, and reported that, based on market prices at the time of writing, it corresponded to only approximately two ETH. Following the publication’s release, the outlet noted that the declaration had been amended.
On 1 April 2026, Danilyshyn submitted a corrected declaration. It retained the same date of acquisition, quantity, Exmo exchange, public crypto wallet address and value of 195,016 UAH, but the type of crypto asset had changed from Ethereum to Tether.
Following this, the arithmetic discrepancy that had arisen in the case of ETH formally disappeared. Based on the corrected version, 195,016 UAH for 4,716.24 USDT amounts to approximately 41.35 UAH per unit, which corresponds to the hryvnia equivalent of the stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. At the same time, the very fact that the asset was replaced following public outcry raises questions about the accuracy of the data originally entered. This should now be assessed as part of an audit by the relevant authorities.
What does this amendment mean?
The NACP classifies cryptocurrency as a virtual asset and states that it must be declared. The agency’s guidance states that the declarant must record such assets independently, and in the ‘Value, UAH’ field, the value of a single type of cryptocurrency should be indicated, based on the actual cost of its acquisition or the value recorded on the exchange at the time of the relevant transaction.
The NACP also reminds that the deliberate inclusion of false information in a declaration may result in criminal, administrative or disciplinary liability, depending on the amount of the discrepancies. The final assessment of a specific declaration is to be made by the relevant authorities following verification.
As a reminder, law enforcement agencies have uncovered the activities of a group of individuals who were offering investments in their own cryptocurrency token. According to preliminary data, citizens were defrauded of almost one million dollars.
