In a recent development, a judge of the Singapore High Court has <\/span>declared<\/span><\/a> that cryptocurrencies are personal properties. The court likened crypto to fiat money, and since fiat passes as personal property, crypto should pass as one, too, the court reasoned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Genesis Of The Case<\/h2>\n

Judge Philip Jeyaretnam made this declaration in a <\/span>case<\/span><\/a> that had earlier been brought by crypto exchange Bybit against a former employee named Ho Kai Xin. Bybit alleged that Ho had transferred around $4.2 million USDT from the crypto platform\u2019s account to her accounts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In what was the most expected outcome, the court ordered Ho to transfer the money back to Bybit. However, what caught the crypto community’s attention is the status that the Judge placed on cryptocurrencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Judge referred to the USDT tokens in question as a \u201cproperty.\u201d And despite these tokens not being physical, the judge opined that \u201cWe identify what is going on as a particular digital token, somewhat like how we give a name to a river even though the water contained within its banks is constantly changing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He was also quick to debunk the notion that crypto doesn\u2019t have any \u201creal\u201d value, as, according to him, value is \u201ca judgment made by an aggregate of human minds.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Judge Jeyaretnam further classified crypto as personal property when he referred to it as \u201cthings in action,\u201d which means any personal property one has the right to sue for recovery. This mostly pertains to money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The judge also highlighted that he wasn\u2019t referring to USDT as personal property because holders can redeem its physical equivalent. Instead, he believes that this feature isn\u2019t required of a crypto asset for it to be classed as a \u201cthing in action.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This ruling is, however, not the first time that digital assets are referred to as \u2018personal property\u2019. In 2022, a London Court <\/span>ruled<\/span><\/a> that nonfungible tokens (NFTs) represent \u201cprivate property.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
