According to Coindesk, in a declaration of all the property he owns and has access to – an anti-corruption procedure for all public officials in Ukraine – Solod listed, alongside real estate, cars and stock, 185,000 XMR. That’s an amount worth $24,375,600 at press time, according to CoinMarketCap data.
According to the publicly available document, he bought the coins in December 2015, when the price of the cryptocurrency fluctuated between $0.30 and $0.50. So the holdings would likely have cost Solod somewhere around $74,000 at that time. With XMR’s price around $132 currently, he has likely profited by nearly $24,300,000.
Solod became a city hall member after an election this fall. His parents, Yuri Solod and Natalia Korolevska, are members of the national parliament of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada.
Ukraine passed its first draft bill on digital assets in the first hearing at the beginning of December and both Yuri Solod and Natalia Korolevska were absent during the vote.
