Introduction. Legislative acts of Ukraine stipulate that the monetary unit of Ukraine is the hryvnia, while cash (money) exists in the form of cash (banknotes and coins bearing the nominal value indicated thereon) and in the non-cash form (records on accounts with banks: funds On accounts in and deposits on demand). With the advent of electronic money to scientists, the question arose about the theoretical foundations of the functioning of this payment instrument, since it has signs of both cash and cashless funds and needs theoretical substantiation of its place in the theory of modern money.Purpose. The purpose and objectives of the study are to determine the place of electronic money in the theory of modern money, refine their functions and evaluate their value in the monetary circulation of the country.Methods. Methods used in the article: theoretical analysis and synthesis of the test material, social and qualitative research methods, analytical- statistical method.Results. The legal conflict, which is ambiguous, whether the state is currently guaranteed to provide electronic money in banks or not. Therefore, this inaccuracy in the legislation should be resolved within the legal framework and economic basis. In our turn, we believe it is expedient to introduce a norm on the unequivocal guarantee of the provision of electronic money, as they are cash in national currency of the country where they are in circulation and have the corresponding status of the total equivalent in both cash and non-cash forms money.Originality. In this article, for the first time, the place of electronic money was determined in the theory of modern money and outlined the basic features of electronic money that have properties for both cash and non-cash forms of money.Conclusion. Like other forms of modern money, electronic money is by its nature credit – the obligations of the bank that issued them, to settle at maturity with their user (owner) of traditional forms of money. They perform the same functions as other forms, and the question of the quantity, origin and content of their functions is also controversial and depends on the views of scholars or the views of various scientific schools.

Introduction. Advances in information technology and digitalization of the banking business have created the basis for the modernization of modern payment systems that operate using a wide range of new financial instruments, a special place among which belongs to electronic money. It is electronic money that is gradually replacing traditional forms of monetary relations, covering an increasing range of relationships between market participants and ensuring the movement of goods and services in each business cycle. Given the importance of money supply as a major factor influencing the dynamics of economic processes, a clear understanding of the nature of electronic money and their place and role in the modern monetary system and economy is especially important in the context of effective monetary policy and financial stability.Purpose. The aim of the study is to substantiate and systematize theoretical views on understanding the nature and basic types of electronic money, taking into account the evolution of monetary relations and the banking system, digitalization of which creates new conditions for market participants in the organization of payments using different types of financial instruments.Results. The nature of electronic money as a legal tender cannot be different from the nature of credit money, which is this tool in the country. Only those instruments of circulation and payment that are issued by the banking system of the country and have all the characteristics to regulate their circulation by the central bank should be considered real money, regardless of their material carrier. Therefore, electronic money should be defined as special electronic ways of storing monetary value in bank accounts using a technical device that can be exploited to make payments.Prospects. Necessary directions of further research of electronic money should be the development of proposals and recommendations for a clearer legislative regulation of differences between real money and their substitutes in order to ensure comprehensive protection of the interests of consumers of financial services.

This work aims to shed lights on a writer and politician of 18th century judged as a fool, a gambler and a swindler by his contemporaries but who nowadays may be considered instead one of the first monetary economists in the history of economic thought: John Law. Using the current stream of literature on this topic, as well as several other chronicles, this work will present the historical facts that brought John Law to become the financial minister of France in 1720 and to put in place a system, the Missisipi System, where he had the rare chance to translate his theories into economic policies, threatening the very foundations of the ancien régime. After elucidating the reasons of the collapse of the System, we will focus on the economic explanations of this failure, showing under which conditions Law's scheme could have been sustainable. A deep analysis of his early writings and of his later memoires will be carried on in order to assess the discrepancies between Law-"the economist" and Law-"the policy-maker". A further study will be conducted to inspect the reasons of Law's uncelebrated role in the subsequent history of economic thought and to present the modernity of his ideas regarding the nature and the role of money, with a particular attention to financial securities and paper and fiat money. The final part will build a singular parallel between Law's revolutionary experiment and Bitcoin, the most recent and influential attempt to reshape the current payment system, explaining both the similarities and the underlying economic differences.

The article deals with the basic provisions of the legislation regarding the definition of payment. An attempt has been made to disclose the meaning of the concepts of electronic money. The legal principles for the use of electronic money have been defined, and the problematic aspects of the use of electronic money as a means of payment have also been analyzed. The authors determine that the emergence and development of such a phenomenon as electronic money is an objective process, because they are endowed with such advantages as convenience, accessibility, ease of use, lack of personification, support of micropayments made them so attractable for users. The role of electronic money in calculations on the Internet is growing rapidly. Therefore, it is important to study the concept of determining the location of electronic money in the state regulation system as a means of payment. As the urgency of the issue is undeniable, the authors attempt to analyze approaches to understanding the concept of 'electronic money' as a means of payment contained in both the legislation of Ukraine and the European Union, as well as in the legal literature. In the course of the analysis, the authors of the article identify the following features of electronic money: electronic money are stored on an electronic device; the issue of electronic money can be made exclusively by the bank; the circulation of electronic money is limited by a certain payment system; electronic money is a monetary commitment to the person who releases it. While researching the issue of introducing electronic money into payment transactions, the authors of the article draw attention to the following. The introduction of the possibility of using electronic money in our country is, of course, progressive, but the question remains about the existence of legislation, the content of which would be based on the best international experience and take into account the issues of consumer rights protection, the obligation of the state regulation, related to the use ...

The article considers the problematic issues of the functioning of cryptocurrency in Ukraine. The risks that provoke cryptocurrency as a tool for the money laundering and the financing terrorism in Ukraine are studied. The level of crime and the use of cryptocurrency in the sphere of money laundering are determined. Topical issues affecting the features of the detection and investigation of a crime are considered. Anti-money laundering law of Ukraine openly conflate money laundering (which is concerned with source of funds) with terrorism financing (which is concerned with destination of funds) when regulating the financial system. Furthermore, FATF report on terrorism financing noted the importance of links between financial tools and wider counter-terrorist activity to combat terrorist financing. Terrorism, being a socially dangerous and difficult to predict phenomenon, is changing its forms, methods, but the need for terrorist organizations to collect, move, and use money is always urgent. The legalization (laundering) of proceeds of crime, as well as the financing terrorism, poses a serious threat to national security of Ukraine and its financial system. The use of computer technologies to commit crimes increases their social security, generates new ways of committing them, and simplifies the very process of committing and masking their tracks. Cryptocurrencies are popular on the dark web because they provide a convenient method of obfuscating identities and transaction details. In addition, the absence of rules for exchanges and points of sale, the obligation to identify the e-wallet owner and a clear legal regulation of the use of cryptocurrencies in general, create favorable conditions for criminals. Investigation of such crimes creates considerable difficulties, given the lack of capabilities of law enforcement agencies from the current level of technological and software criminal activity. The author also found out the advantages of such a currency, which determine its use by criminals, and examined ...

The purpose of this research is to determine the prospects for the use of cryptocurrencies on the example of bitcoins. In the process of theoretical research economic and legal features of cryptocurrencies are revealed: their performing of the money functions, types of economic transactions carried out with their involvement, the legal security of the cryptocurrency market. Problems related to the decentralization of cryptocurrencies are analysed. Among them there are the threat to the stability of national currencies, the use of cryptocurrencies for financing of criminal activities, weak financial control over operations in cryptocurrencies, which reduces the possibility of adequate taxation of related incomes. It was found that improving the legal structure of cryptocurrency circulation, ensuring financial control over it would help to reduce the economic dangers and risks associated with the use of virtual money. The tendencies in change of the extracted volume, exchange price, market capitalization of such cryptocurrency as bitcoin are analysed. It is determined that bitcoin shows sharp price fluctuations over short periods of time that are not related to its quantity. But the demand and supply of bitcoins are influenced not only by speculative expectations, but also by fundamental factors, that influence the prices of other stock assets. In addition, the price of bitcoins is affected by development of the computer technologies and by legislative changes. This allows to make predictions about the dynamics of the price of virtual money. Scenarios for the development of the cryptocurrency market in Ukraine are proposed. Legislative support for the bitcoin market would accelerate its development, make its operations safer for its participants and help to counteract money laundering operations. ; У статті досліджено перспективи застосування криптовалют на прикладі біткойнів у світі загалом та в Україні зокрема.

Виявлено економічні та правові ознаки криптовалют, а саме: виконання ними функцій грошей; види економічних операцій, що здійснюються з їх залученням; правова забезпеченість функціонування ринку криптовалют. Визначено особливості обігу криптовалют у світі та в Україні, тенденції у зміні видобутого обсягу, біржової ціни, ринкової капіталізації такої криптовалюти як біткойн.
