UK Recognizes Crypto and Stablecoins as Personal Property

Published by
Sohrab Khawas

The UK’s Property (Digital Assets etc) Bill received Royal Assent, now law in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It declares cryptocurrencies and stablecoins personal property, creating a “third category” beyond traditional tangibles or claims, aiding ownership proof, theft recovery, inheritance, and bankruptcy handling. Roughly 12% of UK adults hold crypto, now backed by statute over case law.
