The former prime minister Ion Chicu, of the Moldovan Development and Consolidation Party, and the former Gagauz governor Irina Vlah, running independent, today were cleared by the Central Electoral Commission to enter the presidential race.

Chicu’s team brought 22,819 signatures and Vlah presented 25,003 signatures in her support. With a few deemed invalid, this was more than enough in both cases to clear the 15,000-signature minimum.

While authorizing Vlah’s candidacy, the CEC said it will further investigate alleged early campaigning activities by her team as well as potential campaign financing irregularities.

As of Saturday, six presidential candidates have been successfully registered, as six the submissions of six others are still under examination.

Also today, the CEC denied registration to PACE Party as a referendum campaigner, while registering the AUR Party as a “yes” campaigner.

NFTs and some crypto-assets will not be targeted by the upcoming law on the crypto-asset market

by Iana Josu 22.07.2026

NFTs and cryptoassets that qualify as financial instruments, deposits, funds, insurance or reinsurance products, or pension and social security systems will not be subject to the upcoming law on the cryptoasset market. This provision is included in the draft law approved by the government on Wednesday, according to IPN.

The bill establishes the regulatory framework for the cryptoasset market and introduces rules for individuals and companies that issue, trade, or provide services related to these assets. The document specifies who may operate in this market, what obligations they will have, and which authorities are responsible for oversight.

According to the Ministry of Finance, supervisory responsibilities will fall to the National Bank of Moldova and the National Financial Market Commission. At the same time, companies will be required to provide clear information to customers and to comply with requirements designed to protect users and prevent market manipulation or the misuse of confidential information.

The law divides cryptoassets into three categories: electronic currency tokens, which derive their value from a fiat currency; asset-backed tokens, which are linked to one or more assets and other types of cryptoassets.
