๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Digital Assets officially an Act of Parliament. UK has come a long way in recognizing Digital Assets, as it introduces a distinct category of personal property: digital assets, including cryptocurrencies and stablecoins etc. This Act is intended to give digital assets a clearer legal status and also help the UK attract more investment and strengthen its position as a global hub for #Blockchain-based finance. Excellent work by all involved, including several members of House of Lords, BBA Fellow Lord Holmes, Law Commission, Sarah Green MCIArb, and many other associations and think-tank bodies.
