Neither Russian nor foreign law has yet developed a uniform legal framework for cryptocurrency as an object of civil rights and its integration into financial market mechanisms. The title of a cryptocurrency owner is actively debated in legal literature, but has not yet found normative recognition as an object of specific civil rights. The author substantiates the possibility of considering cryptocurrency as an object of property rights, since the characteristics of its owner in an obligation as a debtor or creditor in no way define the title to cryptocurrency as a special type of property. Any possible solution cannot be limited to formally classifying cryptocurrency only as an object of civil rights, breaking with its essence as an infrastructural element of the digital financial market.
