Under a certain normalization assumption we prove that the Voevodsky's spectrum BGL which represents algebraic $K$-theory is unique over the integers. Following an idea of Voevodsky, we equip the spectrum BGL with the structure of a commutative ring spectrum in the motivic stable homotopy category. Furthermore, we prove that under a certain normalization assumption this ring structure is unique over the integers We pull this structure back to get a distinguished monoidal structure on BGL for an arbitrary Noetherian base scheme.
