  In the United States, the IRS treats cryptocurrency as property for tax purposes. Therefore, when it comes to inheritance, the rules for inheriting cryptocurrency are similar to those for inheriting any other type of property. The recipient of the inherited cryptocurrency will need to determine the fair market value of the cryptocurrency at the time of inheritance and report it on their tax return. It's important to consult with a tax professional for guidance on how to handle the inheritance of cryptocurrency in your specific situation.

  When it comes to inheriting cryptocurrency in the United Kingdom, there are currently no specific regulations in place. However, it's important to consider the tax implications of inheriting cryptocurrency and consult with a tax advisor to ensure compliance with existing tax laws. The recipient of the inherited cryptocurrency may be subject to capital gains tax when they sell or dispose of the inherited cryptocurrency.
