Abstract The first twenty years of the 21st century were a period of transformation and change in the development models of the financial market. One of the strongest in the history world financial crises of 2007-2008 ended the post-deregulation model. Transition to the new financial market model turned out to be largely unpredictable, complex, and spontaneous, unlike the previous periods, without the purposeful participation of state regulators. An objective but random reason for this course of events was the COVID-19 pandemic. Pandemic has distorted the effect of the loose monetary policy, which caused building the grounds for a new financial market model. The post-pandemic model of the financial market is still in the early stages of formation, and it is too early to talk about all its properties and elements. However, as seen from current events and processes, the essential factor of the new financial market model formation is a gamification of investors' behavior. The author believes this behavioral model requires much more attention of researches than that in nowadays scientific literature.
