One of the defining features of the digital age is the increase in the speed of communication and the Internet connection as the center of gravity of global information. This connection, in addition to bringing people closer to each other, has enabled the interaction and overlap of various technologies, including social media algorithms and machine learning systems. These developments have led to fundamental changes in the concept of property rights. Digital property rights include access to and control of digital information, data, Internet accounts, and contractual and intellectual property rights in the digital space. The purpose of this research is to examine the evolution of property rights in the digital context in the European Union and analyze its legal doctrine in order to provide solutions for promoting digital property rights in Iran. The question of this article is posed as follows: How have the policies and laws of the European Union and Iran in the field of digital property evolved? The research findings are based on the fact that in the past twenty years, the European Union's policy in the field of digital technologies has changed from a liberal economic approach to a legal doctrine based on digital currencies. This development is due to the emergence of the information society, which has created new opportunities and challenges for fundamental rights and democratic values. The adoption of the Crypto Asset Market Regulation in September 2020 is an example of the EU’s efforts to control and manage digital assets through legal frameworks. In contrast, Iran still lacks a specific legal framework for cryptocurrencies, and these assets are traded in the market without legal supervision.
