The United Kingdom (UK) has reached a significant milestone in its approach to digital assets with the recent passage of the Property Act 2025, which now officially categorizes cryptocurrencies as legal property.Β
The creation of this dedicated legal category for digital assets followed recommendations from the Law Commission, which advocated for a framework that acknowledges assets not fitting traditional definitions of personal property.
This legal evolution is seen as part of a broader strategy to position the UK as a leading digital finance hub, responding to expertsβ calls for the country to align its regulatory environment with that of the United States in order to promote growth in the digital asset market.Β
According to law firm Clyde & Co, a key provision in the law states that βa thing (including a thing that is digital or electronic in nature) is not prevented from being the object of personal property rights merely because it is neither (a) a thing in possession, nor (b) a thing in action.βΒ
This phrase confirms that digital assets can now be recognized as a third category of personal property, distinct from the traditional classifications of tangible and intangible assets.
However, the Act does not guarantee that any specific type of asset qualifies as personal property; rather, it aims to βunlockβ the common lawβs ability to adapt to technological advancements and new asset types, as outlined in the Explanatory Notes from Parliament.Β
The interpretation of existing digital assetsβsuch as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs)βas well as any emerging forms will ultimately depend on future court rulings.Β
The law firm also noted that, under this new law, a digital asset must meet certain criteria to qualify as personal property: it must be definable and identifiable by third parties and capable of being assumed by them, as well as possess a degree of permanence.
Additionally, digital assets will be included in bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, allowing them to be treated as part of the overall asset pool available to creditors and heirs.Β
While momentum continues for digital asset recognition, the UK government is also addressing concerns surrounding cryptocurrency in the political sphere.Β
Ministers are reportedly working on legislation aimed at banning political donations made through digital currencies, although this crackdown may not be ready in time for the upcoming elections bill in the new year.Β
Officials have raised alarms that cryptocurrency donations pose risks to the integrity of the electoral process, primarily due to their difficult-to-trace nature, which could open the door to exploitation by foreign entities or criminal organizations.
At the time of writing, the marketβs leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was trading at $92,180, surging 4% in the past 24 hours.Β

A Donald Trump-backed push has failed to wedge a federal measure that would block states from passing AI laws for a decade into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) told reporters Tuesday that a sect of Republicans is now βlooking at other placesβ to potentially pass the measure. Other Republicans opposed including the AI preemption in the defense bill, The Hill reported, joining critics who see value in allowing states to quickly regulate AI risks as they arise.
For months, Trump has pressured the Republican-led Congress to block state AI laws that the president claims could bog down innovation as AI firms waste time and resources complying with a patchwork of state laws. But Republicans have continually failed to unite behind Trumpβs command, first voting against including a similar measure in the βBig Beautifulβ budget bill and then this week failing to negotiate a solution to pass the NDAA measure.
