The aim of this article is to analyze the development of Ukrainian legislative bases as for the correlation of definitions «derivative securities» and «derivatives».
The history of the development of the categories «derivative securities» and «derivatives» in the Ukrainian law is divided into nine stages.

It is impossible to qualify the law nature of «derivatives» according to the legislation acts bases because of existing of dualism of legislative acts bases approaches in this problem. Some bases of legislative acts witness about a contract nature while other ones about valuable paper nature of a derivative. The parliament doesn’t call any kind of a derivative as a valuable paper nowadays. The category «derivative securities» was adopted and developed mainly in civil legislation acts bases.
