Legal Regulation of Cryptocurrencies and NFT in the Russian Federation
The article analyzes the problems of legal regulation and terminological consolidation of the concepts of «cryptocurrencies» and «NFT» in modern Russian legislation, identifies the problem of the impossibility of attributing cryptocurrencies to any of the objects of civil legal relations listed in the legislation, since the opinions of scientists and practitioners differ, and there is no common understanding regarding virtual currency. Such a situation can lead to the destabilization of the economic situation in the country and an increase in disputed legal relations in the field of monetary transactions. In the presented article, a proposal is made to consolidate the definitions of «cryptocurrencies» and «NFT» in modern Russian law by adopting a separate federal law that would lay the foundations of legal regulation for all technologies based on blockchain systems.
