Such changes affect investment activity, transform economic relations, and, therefore, there is a need to study the prospects for the development of economic and legal support of investment activities in the digital age. The work aims to study investment activities in the digital age. The subject of research is the analysis of patterns and general theoretical aspects of their development.
