Analysis and synthesis techniques were utilized in the research in order to summarize the findings and draw conclusions in accordance with the paper’s structural divisions. The structural approach made it possible to structure the provisions on the potential spread of the impact of the existing state regulatory system on participants’ activities in the cryptocurrency market and determine which state executive authorities should be assigned the task of licensing cryptocurrency mining. The comparative legal method was used to search for advantages and disadvantages for various types of legal entities after legitimizing cryptocurrency. In order to examine the origins of human civilization and its recent acceleration of digitalization, the historical legal method was utilized. The authors have elaborated methods aimed at reducing the risks of operations with cryptocurrencies, as well as protecting the interests of the state and cryptocurrency market participants.

It is proposed to protect the interests of participants in the cryptocurrency market through the application of a group of measures characterized by the term “legal work at the enterprise”, and the LLC legal form can be used to prevent conflicts between founders and protection from encroachments of corporate raiders for small businesses
