What US Firms & Investors Should Know About UK Digital Assets Property Bill 

Authored by Carol Rose

Timothy Spangler to Speak at UK Business & Trade Webinar

Among other things, the UK’s Digital Assets Property Bill ensures certain digital assets, like crypto-tokens, can be properly recognized by the law of England and Wales as a property like anything else. At an upcoming webinar sponsored by the United Kingdom’s Department for Business and Trade, Timothy Spangler will join a panel of other experts to talk about what this means for U.S. entrepreneurs and venture capital investors. 

Impact on international expansion 

Spangler says, “This bill has the potential to significantly move the needle on legal and regulatory certainty, putting the UK in a prime position. U.S. firms and investors should keep a close eye on these developments and how they might fit into their plans for international expansion.”
