The Digital Assets Act: When Justice Meets Blockchain… and Doesn’t Panic!

Imagine a judge in traditional wig, trying to understand what an NFT is. “A pixelated egg sold for £20,000? But where is the egg?” That’s the kind of existential crisis the Digital Assets Act tries to avoid.

Proposed in the United Kingdom, this law aims to clarify that cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and other digital delights are not just computer smoke. No, they are real assets – well, “real” as long as you believe a pixelated monkey can be worth more than a castle.

The law creates a third category of property, because two was apparently not enough. Thanks to it, stealing a digital token will finally carry the same weight as stealing a real painting. Except the painting, you can’t store on a USB drive.

Even better, the United Kingdom hopes to attract investors, start-ups, and maybe a few extraterrestrials interested in Ethereum.

In short, British justice is entering the digital age… slowly, certainly, but with style. And above all, without confusing a meme with a crime.
