Bitcoin, NFTs To Get 'Personal Property' Status in the UK? Ministry Says Move Will Ensure Britain Maintains Its 'Pole Position' In Global Crypto Race
Bitcoin, NFTs To Get 'Personal Property' Status in the UK? Ministry Says Move Will Ensure Britain Maintains Its 'Pole Position' In Global Crypto Race
In a landmark move, the U.K. government has proposed a bill that seeks to categorize digital assets such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as personal property under English and Welsh law.
英國政府提出了一項具有里程碑意義的舉措，旨在根據英國和威爾士法律將比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）和不可替代代幣（NFT）等數字資產歸類爲個人財產，這是一項具有里程碑意義的舉措。
What Happened: The Property (Digital Assets etc) Bill aimed to establish a third type of personal property, extending beyond the current categories of "things in possession" like gold and cars and "things in action" like debt and shares, Decrypt reported Wednesday.
發生了什麼：Decrypt週三報道，《財產（數字資產等）法案》旨在建立第三種類型的個人財產，其範圍不僅限於目前的黃金和汽車等 「持有物品」 以及債務和股票等 「在行動中的物品」。
This new category would encompass certain digital assets, providing them with explicit legal recognition and protection against scams and fraud, while assisting judges in dealing with situations where digital holdings are disputed or part of settlements
這一新類別將涵蓋某些數字資產，爲其提供明確的法律承認和保護，使其免受詐騙和欺詐，同時協助法官處理數字資產存在爭議或屬於和解的情形
"The Bill will also ensure Britain maintains its pole position in the emerging global crypto race by being one of the first countries to recognize these assets in law," the press release from the Ministry of Justice read.
司法部的新聞稿說：「該法案還將確保英國成爲最早在法律上承認這些資產的國家之一，從而保持其在新興的全球加密競賽中的領先地位。」
This legislative initiative follows a 2023 Law Commission report that highlighted potential obstacles to recognizing digital assets as property under English and Welsh private law.
這項立法舉措是在法律委員會2023年發佈的一份報告之後提出的，該報告強調了根據英國和威爾士私法將數字資產認定爲財產的潛在障礙。
Why It Matters: The bill proposal came in the wake of reports that U.K.-based cryptocurrency firms faced an 87% rejection rate in the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration process. The high rejection rate was part of a broader trend since the FCA began overseeing cryptocurrency sector registrations in January 2020.
爲何重要：該法案提案是在有報道稱總部位於英國的加密貨幣公司在金融行爲監管局（FCA）註冊過程中面臨87％的拒絕率之後提出的。自FCA於2020年1月開始監督加密貨幣行業的註冊以來，高拒絕率是更廣泛趨勢的一部分。
According to Gemini's 2024 Global State of Crypto report, about 38% of non-owners blamed regulatory concerns as a barrier to investing in cryptocurrencies.
根據Gemini的2024年全球加密貨幣狀況報告，約有38％的非所有者將監管問題歸咎於投資加密貨幣的障礙。
The proposed legislation could potentially ease these regulatory hurdles and foster a more conducive environment for the growth and development of the crypto industry in the U.K.
擬議的立法有可能緩解這些監管障礙，爲英國加密行業的增長和發展營造更有利的環境。
