Abstract:

One type of digital money is cryptocurrency, the creation and control of which are based on cryptographic methods. Its development has led to the emergence of a huge number of additional institutions, financial instruments, and new forms of interaction between people in our society. The article aims to deepen the theoretical and practical provisions of the characterization and development of cryptocurrency as a phenomenon of the modern world economy. The study applied the method of cognition of phenomena and processes, which allows us to consider them in development and interrelation, as well as to identify established patterns and trends. In the course of proving the key theoretical positions, deductive and inductive methods have been applied. Dialectical and systemic-structural approaches were used to clarify certain provisions. At the theoretical level, in addition to the above, we used such methods as conceptual (terminological), formalization, and axiomatic, since some theoretical statements were accepted without evidence. The synthetic method was used to summarize various subjective ideas and theories of researchers in the field of economics. The analytical method was used to analyze scientific sources on economics in the economic research space. The practical significance of the research results lies in the possibility of their use for further development of theoretical and practical approaches to forecasting the impact of cryptocurrency on the global economy in the future.
