Chinese Court Rules Ethereum Is Legal Property With Economic Value
The legal status of cryptocurrencies in China continues to evolve within its judicial system. As early as April 2020, the Futian District People's Court in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, ruled that Ethereum (ETH) constitutes legal property protected by Chinese law and possesses economic value. This ruling is not an isolated case, as multiple prior court cases have acknowledged the property attributes of virtual assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Despite the Chinese government's strict prohibition on cryptocurrency trading and financial activities, the legality of individuals holding cryptocurrencies as virtual goods or property has been widely recognized in judicial practice.
