Law Commission on Digital Assets: new proposals to reform UK crypto law

Should digital assets and cryptocurrencies be governed and legislated for in the same way as other types of assets? Do they need their own definition and rules tailored for them? 

That is what the Law Commission has been tasked with considering in its recent consultation paper number 256 on digital assets. 

In this episode of the Lawyers on the Block podcast, Roman Kubiak and Kieran Forsyth look at the proposal set out by the Law Commission (the “Proposal”) on how best to regulate the ongoing and ever-increasing adoption and use of crypto assets.
