In the context of the rapid development of the new round of industrial revolution, correctly understanding the role of financial capital in the digital economy is an important theoretical and practical issue. On one hand, financial capital is an essential element for spurring industrial revolutions.Whether it is the innovation and application of digital technologies or the upgrading and reshaping of various links in social reproduction, all require sufficient financial capital support. On the other hand, financial capital also has the general characteristics of capital. If it is not regulated and guided, it may trigger a series of risks and challenges, leading to the distorted development of the digital economy. Facing its positive and negative role, the advantages of the socialist market economic system provide important practical possibilities for harnessing financial capital. It is necessary to give full play to these advantages, firmly grasp the direction of financial development, and guide financial capital to better empower the high - quality development of the digital economy.
