THE CRYPTOCURRENCY ASSETS MARKET IN THE CONDITIONS OF MILITARY AGGRESSION

Abstract

The Russian-Ukrainian war transformed the needs of consumers of financial services, both in Ukraine and abroad. On the one hand, the civilian population and the Armed Forces of Ukraine needed immediate help from the international community. On the other hand, individual and institutional investors were concerned about threats to traditional financial investments. The purpose of the article is to identify the priority directions for the development of the cryptocurrency asset market against the background of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The article presents an analysis of the cryptocurrency asset market with an emphasis on its structural changes in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war. In the study, a survey was conducted to find out the impact of the war on the Ukrainian cryptocurrency market. The analysis of the survey results substantiates the hypothesis about the impact of increased hacking attacks by pro-Russian forces and missile attacks on the functioning of the cryptocurrency market in Ukraine. It has been confirmed that investments and payments are promising segments of the cryptocurrency market in Ukraine, in which, the most interested users and potential users of cryptocurrency are. Based on the received data, the weaknesses and strengths of the functioning of the cryptocurrency market in the conditions of war were identified. Threats and opportunities for the development of the cryptocurrency market against the background of Russian armed aggression are substantiated. The conducted research made it possible to formulate scenarios for the development of the cryptocurrency asset market in Ukraine in war conditions and the conditions for their implementation.
