Digital tokens represent ownership of digital assets. For this policy, we discuss
digital tokens narrowly as a type of digital asset classified into two categories:
fungible and non-fungible. Virtual currencies, including cryptocurrencies, are fungible
digital assets that are exchangeable, interchangeable, and indistinguishable from
other token units, as traditional forms of money are. Non-fungible tokens are unique,
non-interchangeable digital assets that represent claims or receipts on digital or
non-digital objects with value.
For SSI purposes, retained virtual currencies and other digital tokens are countable
resources to the extent that a person can convert them to cash and use them for their
support and maintenance.
