- *Bill Purpose*: The bill aims to establish that digital assets can be considered personal property under the laws of England and Wales, providing them with the same legal protections as traditional categories of personal property.
- *Digital Assets Covered*: The bill includes cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and carbon credits as digital assets that can be considered personal property.

- *Legal Protections*: The bill provides legal protections to owners of digital assets, including:
