UK Government Official Announcement

The UK’s Property (Digital Assets etc.) Act has officially come into force, recognising cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and other on-chain digital tokens as “personal property” in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
This grants digital assets the same legal status and protection as traditional property.

What This Means

• Digital assets can now be included in wills, inheritance processes, divorce settlements, and bankruptcy cases

• Theft, fraud, or unlawful interference involving digital assets can be treated as property crime

• Courts now have clear legal authority for enforcement

• The UK becomes one of the first major jurisdictions in the world to implement this form of digital-asset legislation

Impact on PUFFBTC

This landmark legislation strengthens PUFFBTC’s “Real-World Consumption × Crypto Rewards” model in several ways:

• Greater holder confidence: $PUFFBTC tokens enjoy legal recognition similar to traditional assets

• Stronger UK market foundation: Clearer regulations make market expansion more secure

• Higher credibility for the Scan-to-Earn mechanism: Reinforces the framework for long-term value and adoption

This development signals the integration of digital assets into mainstream legal systems—and provides a more robust foundation for PUFFBTC’s global expansion.
