However, from the point of view of the theory of money, electronic money is the same credit, or fiat, money, but not in paper form, but in the form of a record on electronic media. However, after the 1980s, the process of disappearance of the material form of money, or destuffation, became even more intense and, after several stages, it has led to the emergence of the digital currency, which is an adequate form of money in the new digital economy. Modern cryptocurrencies are based on blockchain technology are essentially an electronic combination of a “warehouse receipt” and a “bill of exchange” and serve as a possible basis for new global money. Keywords:destuffation; electronic money; digital economy; bitcoin; digital currencies of central banks.
