First, the author pays attention to the proximity of the legal nature of tokens to uncertified securities, which are also a mechanism for accounting for property rights, and not an independent type of property right. Secondly, the author resorts to a comparative legal method when studying the institute and points to the existence of a mechanism for creating digital forms of certification of property pairs in France and Germany. Thirdly, the article contains special interpreted phrases “without reference to a third party” of article 141.1, paragraph 1, of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which does not impose prohibitions on any types of intermediation in the market of tokens. Fourthly, the article analyzes the ratio of low-volatile digital currencies to tokens, indicates the difference in their legal nature.
