Breaking: The Chinese court has ruled that cryptocurrency is legally recognized as property.

 

Despite Beijing's 2021 prohibition on

cryptocurrencies, the judicial system in China has recognized cryptocurrency as legitimate property.

This means that crypto assets are safeguarded by China's property rights and laws. This announcement came from a recent document released by the People's Court in China. The document further explored the legal standing of digital currencies and their relationship with criminal law, highlighting the differences between them and traditional property as defined by current laws.

China's Court Recognizes Cryptocurrencies as

Legally Protected Property

The trajectory of the digital asset sector in China has been filled with ups and downs. Even as Beijing has placed restrictions on digital assets, other regions within the country have pushed to foster growth in the sector. As a result, many are turning to Web3 technologies to enhance their digital frameworks.

Contrary to the 2021 prohibition, a fresh report from the China Court has affirmed the legal status of cryptocurrencies as property. This report further emphasizes that such assets fall under the protection of property laws. This significant announcement is detailed in the report named

"Identification of the Property Attributes of Virtual Currency and Disposal of Property Involved in the Case."

The report delves into the economic attributes of these digital currencies. Daily News highlighted a statement from the report's authors asserting that despite any restrictions, virtual currencies remain

"lawful property shielded by legislation." The document further implies that any digital assets in possession should be deemed legal and guarded under property laws.

Furthermore, the report indicates a unique approach when dealing with crimes related to these currencies. This is mainly because the assets in question cannot be easily confiscated. Hence, it emphasizes the necessity to uniquely address such cases to strike a balance between public concerns and personal property rights.
