UNIDROIT 16d ago

The rapid growth of the digital economy has created a complex legal frontier where traditional private law often struggles to keep pace with innovation. This fifth episode of the UNIDROIT Instruments Explained series shifts the focus to the digital realm, examining how harmonised legal principles can be applied to virtual assets. We explore the UNIDROIT Principles on Digital Assets and Private Law (DAPL), an international standard clarifying how proprietary law applies to intangible assets like cryptocurrencies and NFTs, which is essential for legal certainty in digital markets. 💡What you will learn in this Episode: • Proprietary Rights in Digital Assets • The Concept of "Control" • The Innocent Acquirer Rule • Global Implementation Watch to discover how these technology-neutral and jurisdiction-neutral Principles align national legal systems with modern digital realities. 📘 For the full DAPL Principles, visit the UNIDROIT website: https://www.unidroit.org/instruments/digital-assets-and-private-law/ 📺 UNIDROIT Instruments Explained Playlist: https://bit.ly/4lVYGg6 #UNIDROIT #DigitalAssets #CryptoLaw #PrivateLaw #DAPL #Blockchain #FinTech #LegalHarmonisation #DigitalEconomy #InternationalLaw
