This proposed change seeks to address the limitations of the current legal framework, which has struggled to accommodate the unique characteristics of these modern financial instruments adequately.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdkJX_TB83pIW3InC0jrYkfTt7rW3CEaZ8pEv8hgdvAagFTxQa1paSrTqTJY_mUUqIod6-p63ayBZvFphShcRLKIUInK1oLc1Xr6GqgUeU3SG0iCkyknv4X8V9Ref6d4DSS9Bsb0pAZeBRJATfQMKdIKhgR?key&#61;5yiv1wy7TzAg89YNswnfpQ" />Currently, English law divides personal property into two main types: tangible property, such as physical objects, and intangible property, which includes rights and obligations. Digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), present tangible and intangible elements. This complexity creates challenges for legal categorization and dispute resolution. The Commission&#39;s report highlights that the existing categories do not fully capture the complexities of these assets, leading to potential legal ambiguities.<a href="https://cryptotale.org/englands-law-commission-recommends-new-property-class-for-digital-assets/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read more on Cryptotale.</a>Visit the links for more information <a href="https://cryptotale.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/cryptotalemedia" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://t.me/cryptotale_news" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram </a>| <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cryptotalenews/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram </a>|
