Abstract

The paper considers the specifics of using a comparative method to study of legal regulation of cryptoassets. The main practical goals of comparative legal research today are legal transplantation and harmonization of legislation. As lawmakers and legal experts in many states are faced with the need to solve global problems related to the regulation of crypto-assets, a rethinking of the use of the comparative method is required. In order to create optimal legal regulation of cryptoassets, it is useful to reach a common understanding of this proprietary technology at the international level. In the study of legal phenomena, which are essentially transboundary at the present stage, it is necessary to take into account the legal regulation that is formed both in the legislation of the most technologically developed countries and in the international economic space.
