Abstract

Digital technology is an integral element of modern life. The market of tokens and cryptocurrencies is developing; contracts using computers and smartphones are being concluded. Paying for goods online is a daily activity for consumers. Participants in civilian traffic de facto have long been using instruments that are attractive from an economic point of view. However, due to the lack of direct regulatory consolidation, there are risks existing when making transactions in the digital sphere using Internet technologies. Persons acquiring digital rights, their creditors and heirs did not have legal protection. As a result, cryptocurrencies, tokens, and other products based on blockchain technology have been the subject of legal disputes. This circumstance implies the need to establish regulation in relation to the entire system of Russian law. Without consolidation of the basic concepts of digital rights in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, it is impossible to carry out statutory regulation in the field of the digital economy, which is developing rapidly. In order to introduce digital rights into the legal field, the legislator has provided for such an object of civil rights as digital rights. Moreover, the Civil Code determines its place in the system of civil rights and indicates its circulation. These rules providing for the circulation of digital rights will provide judicial protection of the rights of Internet technology market participants. However, significant changes in the regulation of the digital asset market did not occur since the amendments are of a framework nature.
