Property Rights

Definition

Property Rights refer to the legal entitlements that define ownership and control over assets, granting individuals or entities the authority to use, transfer, or exclude others from their property. In the digital asset space, these rights extend to cryptocurrencies, tokens, and other digital representations of value. Blockchain technology provides novel mechanisms for asserting and verifying property rights through immutable ledger entries. Establishing clear property rights is fundamental for the legal recognition and transferability of digital assets.
