ПРАВОВАЯ ПОЛИТИКА РФ И МЕСТО В НЕЙ ЦИФРОВЫХ ФИНАНСОВЫХ АКТИВОВ

Abstract

Introduction: the positivation of digital phenomena, including those that are directly related to digi‐tal civil circulation, is rarely looked at from the perspective of the legal policy of the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, social relations that are subject to legal regulation are increasingly being influenced by cer‐tain state tactics, reflecting the current political course of the country. Purpose: to formulate the concep‐tual idea of ‘DFA as a political decision in the spirit of digitalization’. Methods: the ontological premise of this study was an activity‐based approach, which has a certain heuristic value: through knowledge of the real behavior of people associated with the use of digital financial assets, it is possible to gain a compre‐hensive understanding of the place of this new institution in the digital economy of the Russian Federa‐tion. The general scientific method that predetermined the present study is materialist dialectics, which performs a method‐forming and ideological function in this research. This method made it possible to consider the issue of digital financial assets in inextricable unity with related digital phenomena (digital currency, digital rights, smart contracts, crowdfunding, etc.). A wide arsenal of general scientific metho‐dological techniques, including such logical operations as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduc‐tion, abstraction, analogy, etc., accompanied all scientific stages of the proposed research. The systemic method ensured the connection of the regulatory platform of the digital economy ecosystem with its in‐dividual elements, including digital financial assets; the structural‐functional method was used to clarify the purpose of each of the elements (primarily digital financial assets) in the said system. Among special scientific methods, statistical and mathematical methods were used, which made it possible to under‐stand the share of digital financial assets in the structure of the GDP of the Russian Federation. Specific sociological research made it possible to gain insight into the social expectations of society associated with the positivity of digital rights in general. Thanks to legal forecasting, the article offers a futuristic forecast of the place of digital financial assets in the structure of the digital economy of the Russian Fed‐eration in the post‐corona crisis. Results: the study found that digital financial services are not an end in themselves, but part of the legal policy aimed at digitalization of the financial sector of society. Conclu‐sions: (1) the essence of legal policy can be characterized as the official position of the state, expressing tactics in a certain area subject to legal regulation; (2) according to a futuristic forecast of the place of digital financial assets in the structure of Russia’s digital economy in the post‐corona crisis, there is ex‐pected growth in demand for and supply of this financial instrument.
