UKJT Publishes Landmark Report on Control of Digital Assets

The UK Jurisdiction Taskforce (UKJT) has published its latest report on the control of digital assets, offering timely and much-needed guidance on how English law approaches one of the most complex questions in digital asset jurisprudence.

As digital assets continue to play an increasingly central role in modern finance and commerce, questions around control, ownership, and legal characterisation have become critical. The report builds on earlier UKJT work and contributes to the broader effort—also reflected in recent Law Commission proposals—to clarify the legal status of digital assets, including the recognition of a potential third category of personal property.

The report will be of particular interest to practitioners, academics, and market participants navigating issues such as custody, transfer, and enforcement in relation to cryptoassets and other digital assets.
