The analysis of recent researches and publications. The unresolved issue of this issue has led to a lot of research, but at the present time there is no reason to speak about the availability of a consistent approach to this issue.
The aim of the article is to study the legal nature of cryptocurrency as objects of civil rights.
Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research was, first of all, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, in combination with special legal research methods (formal-legal, comparative-legal, method of interpretation of law, etc.).
ResultsProceeding from the features of cryptocurrency as a very specific object of civil rights, it can be stated that the qualification of cryptocurrency as intangible assets is quite reasonable.
