Conclusions and Relevance The cryptocurrency is not regarded as a legal tender according to the absolute majority of national legislation worldwide, however it could be used within the cashless transactions providing the compliance of anti-money laundering regulations. At the same time, current Russian legislation does not contain any regulations allowing or prohibiting the virtual currencies usage within the payment relations. This legal gap causes the exception of a sizable group of legal relations concerning the creation, acquisition and usage of cryptocurrencies from the legal regulation which therefore spawns legal uncertainties and perplexes the process of law-enforcement, compelling the judicial bodies to either create new legal norms or to settle the disputes on the basis of current general legal regulations.
