Contemporary Issues in Financial Law in the Context of Advancing Technological Leadership of the Russian Federation

The author focuses on three interrelated clusters of issues: the financial law framework supporting technological sovereignty; the legal regulation of artificial intelligence in the financial sector; and prospects for improving the regulation of cryptocurrency circulation. The paper emphasizes the importance of the timely adaptation of legal regulation to contemporary economic and technological challenges. Particular attention is devoted to the role of financial law in creating the conditions necessary for Russia’s technological leadership, including the regulation of financial technologies, mechanisms of public financing, taxation, and other legal instruments aimed at developing the national technological base. In the section devoted to artificial intelligence, the paper identifies promising areas for its application within financial relations, as well as the associated legal risks. The analysis of digital currency regulation reveals gaps in the conceptual framework and outlines directions for the further development of financial legislation in this field.
