The article presents the findings of a study on financial disputes in international arbitration, focusing on their arbitrability, legal specificities, and current development trends. It outlines key approaches to defining financial disputes and distinguishing them from other commercial conflicts, and identifies factors behind their heightened technical complexity and reliance on expert evidence. The paper substantiates the role of public-law constraints of financial markets, confidentiality regimes, and the requirements of legal certainty in determining the admissibility of arbitral proceedings and the enforceability of awards. It further demonstrates that the technologisation of finance and the emergence of digital instruments strengthen the cross-border nature of such disputes and increase the importance of procedural discipline. The study emphasises the need to reconcile private commercial interests with the protection of public interests of the state, including safeguarding the financial sovereignty and national interests of the Russian Federation.
