What are cryptographic assets?

There is currently no legal definition of cryptographic assets. Generally, cryptographic assets are transferrable digital representations that are designed in a way that prevents their copying or duplication. Cryptographic assets and the underlying blockchain technology provide opportunities to digitise a variety of ‘real world’ objects.

Are cryptographic assets fair value under IFRS?

PwC’s In depth titled «Cryptographic assets and related transactions: accounting considerations under IFRS» was recently updated to further emphasize on fair value considerations for cryptographic assets.

How does a cryptographic asset evolve over time?

It should be noted that the hierarchy level of a cryptographic asset might evolve over time. For example, it is possible that a cryptographic asset that was previously valued using level 3 inputs might become traded in an active market, or vice versa.

What is the appropriate valuation technique for a cryptographic asset?
