Something big just dropped in the UK this week—and honestly, it's going to ripple way past their shores.
The Property (Digital Assets etc.) Act 2025 just got royal assent. What does that mean? English law now recognizes a completely new, third category of property.
Think about it: for centuries, property fell into two buckets—tangible stuff you can touch, and intangible rights like patents. Now? Digital assets get their own lane.
This isn't just legal housekeeping. It's a framework shift that could influence how jurisdictions worldwide treat crypto, NFTs, and tokenized assets going forward.

Oh wow, the UK is only now making this move... Digital assets have finally been officially recognized as an independent class of property? That means our NFTs and crypto assets finally have a legal "ID," so to speak. Well, it's a bit late, but at least it's here now.
