Novosibirsk State University has been implementing this program since 2022. Digital Departments project along with other participating universities Priority 2030 programAs part of this project, additional professional education program "Digital Jurisprudence" A roundtable discussion on digital assets was held, where participants discussed current issues related to digital asset circulation, particularly digital financial assets (DFAs), the use of digital currency, and the digital ruble within the Russian legal framework and with partner countries. The roundtable was interdisciplinary, with participants including lawyers, economists, technical specialists, and entrepreneurs.
Representatives from other Russian research centers and universities participated in the roundtable, including the Higher School of Economics, the Lebedev Russian State University of Justice, the Moscow University of Finance and Law (MFUA), the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, the Private Law Center of the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation, and others. HSE University acted as a co-organizer and partner of the event.
The roundtable was also supported by industrial partners of the NSU Digital Department. Representatives of the Siberian Main Administration of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (SMA CB) discussed current trends in digital asset turnover. Polina Sazonova, Director of the IT company Descendancy, shared her experience supporting the turnover of digital financial assets; a representative of Tokeny LLC (Tokeon platform) discussed significant digital financial asset projects implemented by the company; and a notary representative shared aspects of law enforcement in this area.
Nadezhda Barbanakova, Head of the Payment Systems and Settlements Department of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, emphasized:
"Two years ago, we said the digital financial services market was still relatively young. Today, the total value of all digital financial instruments issued in our country is approaching 1.5 trillion rubles. This further confirms the market's attractiveness."
For this to continue to develop, ongoing dialogue is needed between businesses, regulators, government agencies, as well as platform representatives and researchers. For example, last year in Novosibirsk, we held a meeting attended by companies that had already issued digital financial assets and those planning to raise capital.
As a result, we formed a focus group, and one of its results was the creation of the "Guide"—an educational app on the digital financial instrument issuance process. Today, we're introducing businesses to its capabilities.
The event's initiator and organizer, Elizaveta Zainutdinova, head of the Digital Jurisprudence program at NSU, noted that the roundtable was practical and useful for the participants. She did not rule out the possibility of joint projects for the implementation of digital asset circulation, in which NSU could participate and serve as a member of the advisory group.
