Such an initiative was previously made not only in the Cabinet but also in the Central Bank of Great Britain.
The recognition of cryptocurrency as a new type of ownership will greatly facilitate the protection of holders of such an instrument.

At the same time, the commission opposes the use of bitcoin and other virtual coins as a means of paying for goods and services. In her opinion, cryptocurrencies can only be used for capital storage and trading.

A new regulated data category needs to be created. It should include software, crypto wallets, and other blockchain information said the analysts of the Legal Commission.
