In this regard, the Bank urges citizens to be especially careful and not to fall for false advertisements and offers related to digital som, which are spread through messengers and social networks.
‘Now the National Bank is at the stage of choosing a platform and developing legislative initiatives to settle the legal status of the national digital currency. The proposed bill provides that the digital som will be put into circulation not earlier than 1 January 2027,’ the NBKR noted.
The bank also warned that various messengers, such as WhatsApp and Telegram, are receiving information about the allegedly ready launch of the digital som, which is a fraud.
The NBKR asks citizens to be vigilant and not to participate in suspicious schemes related to digital currencies before the official launch and entry into force of relevant laws.
