Also, during the research, the approaches to legal regulation of digital currencies and digital financial assets, adopted in certain foreign countries, were analyzed, the trends were considered, and the positive and negative aspects of using cryptographic algorithms for the goals in economic and juridical spheres of the global economy were reflected.</p></sec><sec><title>Scientific novelty</title><p>Scientific novelty: within the work, the topical issues of legislative regulation of such a relatively new notion as digital financial assets are considered. The positions of Russian and foreign jurist are considered concerning the existing problems and risks associated with “tokenization” and “blockachainization” of private law. Besides, the author comes to a conclusion about the existence of significant gaps in the current approach to legal regulation of digital financial assets, indicates them and proposes certain mechanisms to solve these problems.</p></sec><sec><title>Practical significance</title><p>Practical significance: is due to the imperfect current legislation in the sphere of relations occurring when using the technologies based of distributed ledger, including digital financial assets. Research of these problems allows evaluating the risks, considering the existing ways of overcoming and solving the emerging disputable questions. Also, the conclusions obtained can be used to improve the Russian legislation, as well as in the academic literature devoted to the topical issues of developing the digital legislation.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель: исследование существующих проблем и перспективных направлений правового регулирования цифровых финансовых активов как относительно нового инструмента современной цифровой экономики.</p></sec><sec><title>Методы</title><p>Методы: методологической основой работы выступает совокупность методов научного познания, таких как теоретический анализ, исследование, сопоставление, синтез, а также обобщения научной литературы.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты: в работе рассмотрены существующие подходы к правовому регулированию цифровых финансовых активов в Российской Федерации и отдельных зарубежных странах, выявлены существующие пробелы отечественного законодательства в области обращения цифровых финансовых активов, дана оценка перспективам развития правового регулирования указанных инструментов и сформированы предложения по его совершенствованию. Кроме того, в процессе исследования проанализированы подходы к правовому регулированию цифровых валют и цифровых финансовых активов, принятые в ряде иностранных государств, рассмотрены тенденции и отражены положительные и отрицательные моменты использования криптографических алгоритмов для целей экономической и юридической сфер глобальной экономики.</p></sec><sec><title>Научная новизна</title><p>Научная новизна: в рамках работы рассмотрены актуальные вопросы законодательного регулирования такого относительно нового явления, как цифровые финансовые активы. Проанализированы позиции отечественных и иностранных ученых-правоведов относительно существующих проблем и рисков, связанных с «токенизацией» и «блокчейнизацией» частного права. Помимо этого, в процессе исследования автор статьи приходит к выводу о существовании значительных пробелов в существующем подходе правового регулирования цифровых финансовых активов, указывает на них и предлагает отдельные механизмы решения данных проблем.</p></sec><sec><title>Практическая значимость</title><p>Практическая значимость: обусловлена несовершенством существующего законодательства в сфере регулирования отношений, возникающих в процессе использования технологий, базирующихся на базе распределенного реестра, в том числе цифровых финансовых активов. Исследование данных проблем позволяет оценить риски, рассмотреть существующие пути преодоления и разрешения возникающих дискуссионных вопросов. Кроме того, полученные в результате исследования выводы можно использовать для совершенствования отечественного законодательства, а также в учебной литературе, посвященной актуальным вопросам развития цифрового законодательства.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Блокчейн</kwd><kwd>законодательство</kwd><kwd>криптовалюта</kwd><kwd>право</kwd><kwd>правовое регулирование</kwd><kwd>распределенный реестр</kwd><kwd>токен</kwd><kwd>цифровые права</kwd><kwd>цифровые технологии</kwd><kwd>цифровые финансовые активы</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Blockchain</kwd><kwd>cryptocurrency</kwd><kwd>digital financial assets</kwd><kwd>digital rights</kwd><kwd>digital technologies</kwd><kwd>distributed ledger</kwd><kwd>law</kwd><kwd>legal regulation</kwd><kwd>legislation</kwd><kwd>token</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Василевская, Л.
