UK commission to clarify crypto property law ; Bitcoin (BTC) jumps 8%

The UK Law Commission plans to provide legal protection to digital assets, allowing people, groups and companies to interact online and benefit from crypto transactions.

"Digital assets such as NFTs and other crypto-tokens have evolved and proliferated at great speed, so it's vital that our laws are adaptable enough to be able to accommodate them," said Sarah Green, the Law Commissioner for Commercial and Common Law, in a statement.

In other news, the US Federal Trade Commission filed a suit against Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc to halt the acquisition of Whithin, the developer of fitness app Supernatural. 

“Meta would be one step closer to its ultimate goal of owning the entire ‘metaverse,’ the FTC filing alleges. 

All the big guns in Silicon Valley are now pitting against each other to build their metaverse. 
Meta makes Quest 2 headset and is now the biggest player in the virtual reality space. 

Nikhil Shanbhag, Meta VP wrote in a blog, “The idea that this acquisition would lead to anticompetitive outcomes in a dynamic space with as much entry and growth as online and connected fitness is simply not credible.”
