Results of the study. One of the significant results is the identification of not only some of the advantages of the legislative novelty due to its absolute relevance, strategic importance and the need for regulation, but also the study of weaknesses (for example, limiting cryptocurrency as a means of payment, despite the fact that this is theoretically and practically one of its main functions) and the ineffectiveness of certain provisions, which in the near future require more detailed and in-depth study, taking into account the features of the objects considered. These circumstances indicate that the novel under study represents only the first steps of the legislator to solve this problem, which in fact requires rather rapid amendments due to the growing dynamics of the transnational circulation of digital rights and assets, as well as the increasing digitalization of society The perspective of the study is the analysis of specific tools and aspects of the release and circulation of the fruits of the digital economy in accordance with their essential specifics - freedom, cross-border nature and the existence of actually «above» legal systems, which is a kind of reflection of current trends, which in any case expect a point-based and modern approach.
