Abstract

The paper focuses on the definition of the legal status of the cryptocurrency in the framework of the current Russian legislation. The subject of the research is the principal scientific and practical approaches to determining the object of civil rights and the object of acquisitive crimes in terms of their adaptability to cryptocurrencies. The purposes of the work were the search for a universal algorithm for resolving civil disputes related to the turnover of the crypto currency, and the qualification of the virtual currency theft (fraud). By using historical, comparative legal and dialectical methods as well as the content analysis method parallels between cryptocurrencies and individual objects of civil rights (a thing, property rights, other property) were drawn, and a number of options for qualifying the actions related to the non-repayable withdrawal of the cryptocurrency were proposed. Finally, the paper analyzes the draft laws prepared by the RF Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and presents the author’s vision of the prospects for legalizing the cryptocurrency as an object of civil rights. Основное внимание в работе уделено определению правового статуса криптовалюты в рамках действующего российского законодательства. Предмет исследования — основные научно-практические подходы к определению объекта гражданских прав и предмета корыстных преступлений в точки зрения их адаптивности к криптовалютам. Цели работы — поиск универсального алгоритма разрешения гражданско-правовых споров, связанных с оборотом криптовалюты, и квалификация хищения (мошенничества, кражи) виртуальной валюты. Посредством использования исторического, сравнительно-правового и диалектического методов, а также метода контент-анализа проведены параллели между криптовалютами и отдельными объектами гражданских прав (вещью, имущественными правами, иным имуществом) и предложены возможные варианты квалификации действий, связанных с безвозмездным изъятием криптовалюты. Кроме того, в работе приведен анализ подготовленных Минфином России и ЦБ РФ законопроектов и изложено авторское видение перспектив легализации криптовалюты как объекта гражданских прав.
