Digital Financial Assets as a Flexible and Stable Instrument: Who Benefits Most Today?
Congress Centre, conference hall B4 (2nd floor)
The digital rights market has exploded over the past year. It has now reached RUB 700 billion with 1,400+ issues and 15 operators of information systems that issue digital financial assets. Major banks account for the bulk of placements. Most of the issues are debt-based digital financial assets, but there has been a growing trend of index and hybrid digital instruments. In addition, market experts are already seeing growth in the liquidity of the secondary market. The infrastructure of digital financial assets is becoming much stronger as well and competing with the traditional financial market. However, there are still a number of problems that need to be resolved to make full use of the new instrument, such as the taxation of digital financial assets for legal entities, limits for non-qualified investors, and issues concerning digital certificates. What trends can we expect to see in the digital financial assets market? What changes are planned and how should we adapt to them?
