[Purpose] The purpose of the article is to consider the issue of civil law regulation of
electronic transactions in many countries.
[Methodology/Approach/Design] The authors used the dialectical method of cognition of
social and legal phenomena and general scientific research methods, such as analysis,
synthesis, a systematic approach.
[Findings] General features of legal regulation of electronic transactions were explained.
The relevance of electronic transactions is shown on the example of regulatory legal acts
in this field in Kazakhstan. Advantages and disadvantages of digitalization in the field of
electronic transactions were analysed. Special attention was paid to current realities of
electronic transactions and electronic tendering during a pandemic. It was concluded that
the advent of digital opportunities simplifies a life greatly, but since these relations are not
directly regulated by the laws of several countries, great risks are created. And the adoption
of new standards will reduce risks in terms of the circulation of digital rights, the purchase
of financial assets and the use of new means of payment.
