Ownership rights define the legal entitlements a person or entity has over an asset, granting them the power to possess, use, transfer, or exclude others from it. In the digital asset context, these rights are often recorded and enforced on a blockchain, providing immutable proof of provenance and control over digital property like cryptocurrencies or non-fungible tokens. These rights establish legal dominion over digital assets, allowing for their secure exchange and management. The cryptographic security of blockchain underpins these digital entitlements.

Establishing clear legal precedents and technological standards for digital ownership is essential for fostering trust and mainstream acceptance.
