Abstract
Due to increasing interest around the world about crypto-currency there is a growing need among authorities for understanding the approaches to regulate the new phenomenon. Analysis of international experience in the regulation of crypto-currencies and other cryptoactive assets shows that regulators are now trying to reduce the risks associated with the violation of public interests - the risks of erosion of the tax base and money laundering and terrorist financing. The article provides information on the approaches of the EU, the US and other OECD countries to the regulation of crypto-currencies and other crypto assets, as well as possible proposals for regulators in Russia.
