🇬🇧 A landmark evening for digital assets law in the UK.

Last night, the UK Jurisdiction Taskforce (UKJT) launched its much anticipated report on the Control of Digital Assets and UK Law — a significant step in establishing legal certainty for blockchain, tokenised assets, and smart contracts under English law.

BBA President Prof. Dr @Prof Naseem Naqvi MBE MBE FBBA attended the launch, where BBA Advisory Board member Joshua Ashley Klayman Kuzar participated as a panellist on the Control of Digital Assets panel, chaired by Lord Justice Antony Zacaroli.

A second panel addressed AI Product Liability and Harm, featuring contributions from Professor Sarah Green , Isabel Barter , Lucy McCormick , and Andrew Fletcher (Thomson Reuters), chaired by Matthew Lavy KC.

The opening address was delivered by Sir Geoffrey Vos, Master of the Rolls.

🎤 A question posed by the BBA:
When AI agents execute transactions autonomously, who bears legal responsibility? — sparked sharp debate across both panels.

The UKJT report is a solid step, but legal clarity alone won’t resolve deeper systemic risks—especially as CBDCs loom. I recently read an analysis arguing that centralized digital currencies could reshape financial sovereignty in ways blockchain purists underestimate. Worth weighing both angles....
