This article explores the legal nature of digital currencies and their legal definition in the context of Russian laws. The rapid development of blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies makes the importance of clear regulation of these legal relations especially relevant. The article analyses existing approaches to the legal nature of digital currency considering it as property, a means of payment, or a financial instrument. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of existing regulations, including the law "On Digital Financial Assets," as well as to new draft laws that may affect the legal situation. The author concludes that it is necessary to create a clearer legal framework that would take into account the specifics of digital currencies and ensure the protection of citizens' rights, as well as promote innovation and the development of financial technologies in Russia. Research into the issues under consideration will help better understand current trends and problems in the regulation of digital currencies, which, in turn, may become the basis for further research and legislative initiatives.
