Antimonopoly regulation of the digital economy is nowadays one of the most significant regulatory issues. This article analyzes the essence of the product in the sphere of the digital economy, defines it and formulates its features. The authors conclude that the term “digital asset” is the most suitable term for the phenomenon considered, and provide arguments to support their position. The authors conclude that the traditional understanding of goods, inherent to the present antitrust regulation, does not take into account the specifics of digital goods and needs to be adapted.
