Irina Ustinova, Associate Professor at the Department of Constitutional and Administrative Law, presented the achievements of the Faculty in this area. "The issue of determining the content and legal nature of virtual assets of virtual currencies - cryptocurrencies have not been sufficiently reflected in the science of financial law. There are also no comprehensive works devoted to the analysis of the financial essence of virtual assets as a modern phenomenon and the accounting for transactions with them in Ukraine. Therefore, researchers and postgraduate students of the Faculty of Law are actively working on the study of the legal nature of virtual assets, their classification, as well as the issue of accounting for transactions with such assets," she said.
