The author has developed a forensic classification of the most relevant digital traces of crimes in the financial market, the establishment and seizure of which is of great importance in identifying and detecting the organizers of criminal schemes in the context of digital transformation. The author sets the task to analyze digital traces that appear in the process committing crimes in the financial market. It is taken into account that a number of criminal acts can be committed in the legal financial market with the involvement of financial organizations and their employees, as well as in the illegal financial market, which forms the shadow sector of illegal financial services, including the formation of financial pyramids. The result of the study is the conclusion that digital traces in the case of crimes involving licensed financial organizations and involving illegal entities of the financial market differ in their content, as well as in the degree of their preservation from destruction, which in some cases requires prompt measures to record and seize them. The author concluded that successful investigation of crimes in the financial market largely depends on the results of expert studies of digital traces of economic content and computer information, which require a range of forensic examinations.
