Abstract

Russia, which is actively piloting the Digital Ruble project, has become the first country to legislate the turnover of the central bank’s digital currency. At the same time, the embodiment of the competitive balance between “electronic private and digital honest” for the interaction of the information society in a virtual environment, which makes it possible to turn the lack of understanding (indirect participation) into a trust relationship (direct participation) with full optional financial support in the contour of the national metaverse, has not yet been implemented in practice. The relevance and desirability of the study is due to insufficient research on the integration of high-tech financial products into the monetary system in the focus of a full-scale digital transformation of the entire financial system, as well as the lack of a carefully developed legal framework for the implementation of central banks digital currencies on a global scale. The need to achieve this goal determined a phased study of regulatory, statistical and periodic literature using general scientific and special research methods: systemic and interdisciplinary approaches, formal logic, comparative analysis, classification, etc. The authors have found that the digital ruble does not correspond to the category of ideal digital currency in the context of digital (crypto) units and identified the discussion provisions for regulating the transformation processes of the digital ruble implementation into monetary turnover. As a result, we have specified the nature of monetary innovation at the stage of economic bifurcation metamorphoses.
