UK Parliament Proposes Bill to Recognize Bitcoin and Crypto as Personal Property
The UK Parliament has introduced the Property (Digital Assets etc) Bill to officially recognize Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and other digital assets as personal property. This landmark legislation will protect digital holdings such as Bitcoin, NFTs, and carbon credits under British law for the first time, filling a long-standing legal gap where digital assets were previously unprotected.
The bill classifies digital assets as a third category of property, providing owners with stronger legal protections against fraud and theft, and helping courts resolve complex disputes involving digital assets, such as in divorce settlements or business agreements. The UK government expects this legislation to boost its legal sector’s capacity to adapt to new technologies and attract investment.
