Sponsorship of international terrorism and transnational criminal activity poses a significant threat to the financial system, and due to the rapid expansion of payment opportunities in the Internet, risks have increased significantly, which requires a study of foreign legal experience and the development of a law enforcement strategy to control the circulation of the cryptocurrency. The authors have come to the following conclusions. The use of cryptocurrencies is a promising way to maintain economic development by applying modern accounting and information technologies. International experience clearly demonstrates the importance and role of cryptocurrencies in the activities of transnational criminal groups relating to the financing of terrorism and human trafficking. In the context of globalisation and implementation of the European integration in Ukraine, the turnover of cryptocurrencies needs to be regulated at the legislative level. Thus, it is necessary to accelerate the approval of the Draft Law «On the turnover of cryptocurrency in Ukraine» No. 7183 as of 06 October 2017. It is advisable to introduce a system of registration (licencing) of crypto-currency exchange and exchangers at the national level. At the same time, it is necessary to impose an obligation on cryptoexchangers to collect information about customers. Also, it is necessary to regulate activities of companies that sell goods and services to customers for cryptocurrency, as it is accepted by PayPal, Braintree and other payment systems.

The article analyzes the model of absolute state monopoly on gambling on the example of the idea of the Government of Ukraine to organize a lottery market by state-owned banks. The object of the study is the process of assessing the risks and economic benefits of involving state-owned banks to the organization and conduct of lotteries. The methodical instruments of the study were general scientific and special research methods (system-structural, formal-logical (dogmatic), economic, comparative, sociological, statistical). The study period is selected from 2014 to 2021. Based on the research conducted by the authors, the inefficiency and high riskiness of the combination of banks and lottery activities, as well as its economic disadvantage for the state, is proved by the authors. The main risk from the combination of these types of activities is that the bank can use the money attracted from the population not for their direct purpose, in particular: to use funds from the banking activity and the needs of the organization of lotteries or payouts, or to use funds of the prize money to goals other than payouts. In addition, the combination of these activities leads to an increase the number of crimes in the banking sector.

Analysis findings in the field of cybercrime in the world and Ukraine as well prove a steady trend towards its growth, which causes a systematic increase in the number of victims affected by illegal malpractice of cyber criminals. This negative phenomenon violates not only citizens’ interests guaranteed by law, but also poses a threat to the national security in many countries. At the same time, international order is undermined and sustainable interstate relations are violated. Rapid information system development, speedy progress of computer software and hardware prompt numerous crimes in this field.

In accordance with foregoing the issue of law approximation and the procedure of identification and recording of the mentioned illegal activity is essential to eradicate cybercrime. Considering the fact that the category of “proof” is fundamental in the theory of criminal procedure, we build in general-theoretical approaches in the basics of the analysis of the procedure of cybercrimes identification and recording to the mentioned activity in general.
