英国政府推出了一项开创性的财产法案，正式将加密货币和 NFT 归类为个人财产。这为数字资产持有者提供了急需的法律清晰度，并加强了整个行业的欺诈保护。

The Property Bill, published on September 11, further defines NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and carbon credits, as reported by Cointelegraph. The bill adds a new category of property to UK law, defining digital assets as "things."

The new law will "give legal protection to owners and companies against fraud and scams, while helping judges deal with complex cases where digital holdings are disputed or form part of settlements," according to the government. The announcement specifically mentions the use of cryptocurrency as an asset to be divided in divorce proceedings.

政府表示，新法律将“为所有者和公司提供法律保护，防止欺诈和诈骗，同时帮助法官处理数字资产存在争议或构成和解的一部分的复杂案件”。该公告特别提到使用加密货币作为离婚诉讼中分割的资产。

The legislation follows a study commissioned by the UK Ministry of Justice in 2023. "Some digital assets are neither things in possession nor things in action, but that nonetheless the law of England and Wales treats them as capable of being things to which personal property rights can relate," the paper reads.

这项立法是在英国司法部于 2023 年委托进行的一项研究之后进行的。“一些数字资产既不是拥有的东西，也不是行动中的东西，但英格兰和威尔士的法律仍然将它们视为能够成为个人财产权的东西。可以联系起来，”该论文写道。
