ISSUES OF LEGAL IDENTIFICATION OF DIGITAL ASSETS IN THE CONTEXT OF OBJECTS OF CIVIL RIGHTS

Abstract

Digitalization is an integral part of all processes of modern life. Digital rights, digital assets, cryptocurrencies are the tools without which the development of the modern economy is impossible. At the same time, the development of digital tools, along with positive impacts, can also lead to negative consequences. Effective legal regulation of these objects, a reasonable definition of their legal nature and based on this adequate application of existing legal mechanisms is an important task for any state.

In this article, we propose to consider the legal possibilities for identifying digital assets as objects of civil rights, by understanding the features of digital assets.

The study aims to explore factors that indicate that the application of digital asset technologies, including blockchains and cryptocurrencies, requires a rethinking of the traditional understanding of property rights.
