THE IMPACT OF DIGITALIZATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS IN THE RUSSIAN STOCK MARKET: LEGAL ASPECTS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the topical issue of the introduction of digital financial instruments and the use of blockchain technology in the securities market, which is supposed to make the stock market more transparent and reduce the risks of participants. The main legislative trends in the development of digitalization in the financial market are considered. Attention is drawn to the characteristics of certain relatively recently introduced new financial market instruments, the features of legal regulation of their circulation and the problems that arise when using them in practice (for example, the United States as a pioneer in these issues). In connection with a whole package of legal acts aimed at regulating relations in the financial market in the conditions of digitalization, the issue of further prospects for the development of the securities Institute is considered, and the problem of justifying the division of securities into documentary and non-documentary as financial instruments with different legal regimes is raised.
