Particular attention is paid to the classification and legal nature of assets such as utility tokens, asset-backed tokens, and electronic tokens.

This article examines the legal nature and essence of the concept of ‘virtual assets’ through the prism of European Union legislation and jurisprudence. The author analyzes the main legislative acts regulating the issue of virtual assets, as well as important court decisions that have a significant impact on the formation of this concept.

Some countries consider virtual assets to be financial instruments, means of payment, electronic money, or even objects of civil rights, while others do not recognize them in such categories. By analyzing these different approaches, the article highlights the lack of a single, unified approach to the regulation of virtual assets, which poses challenges for law enforcement and requires further elaboration at the national and international levels.
