    4. The UK Supreme Court has taken a significant step in the legal regulation of cryptocurrencies by making a landmark decision regarding Tether (USDT).

    Case Context

    The case involved a lawsuit filed by Fabrizio D'Aloia, who claimed to be the victim of a cryptocurrency scam. He alleged that 2.5 million pounds ($3.3 million) worth of Tether (USDT) was stolen, laundered through various exchanges and mixers, and sent to a specific wallet on the Thai exchange BitKub.

    Court's Ruling

    The UK High Court ruled that Tether (USDT) is property under British law. "USDT has property rights under English law," said Judge Richard Farnhill in his ruling. The judge also added that USDT is traceable and can constitute trust property like any other property.

    Implications and Consequences

    Despite acknowledging the fraud, the court stated that there was insufficient evidence to establish that the stolen funds were sent to a specific wallet on the BitKub exchange due to the use of mixers. This decision will have significant implications for the future legal regulation of cryptocurrencies in the UK.

    The recognition of Tether (USDT) as property by a UK court opens new horizons for the legal regulation of cryptocurrencies in the country. This decision will greatly influence future legal proceedings and the legal recognition of crypto-assets.
