Australia’s New Crypto Rules Says Crypto Compliance No Longer Optional!

Australia’s New Crypto Rules Says Crypto Compliance No Longer Optional!

The post Australia’s New Crypto Rules Says Crypto Compliance No Longer Optional! appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Australia is making big changes to its crypto rules. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has proposed new licensing requirements, meaning crypto businesses will no longer be able to avoid following the rules. These changes could force many crypto firms to get licensed, but some fear it could push startups to leave the country. Will Australia’s crypto future be at risk? Mandatory Licensing for Crypto Firms Under the released consultation paper on proposed rules, most crypto exchanges and firms dealing with digital assets must secure financial licenses. This includes obtaining an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) and, in some cases, an Australian Market License. We have released a consultation paper outlining proposals to update our digital asset guidance: https://t.co/PR6k2KDgY7 pic.twitter.com/a3tuRbxOVR — ASIC Media (@asicmedia) December 3, 2024 ASIC’s initiative expands the classification of financial products to include stablecoins, staking services, exchange tokens, and wrapped tokens. However, Bitcoin, Ethereum, memecoins, and gaming-linked NFTs may sidestep these rules. Meanwhile, ASIC Commissioner Alan Kirkland stated that the objective is to balance innovation with consumer protection, encouraging stakeholders to participate in the consultation process before the February 28, 2025, deadline. Bold Step Toward Clarity! Despite the challenges, some industry leaders see the guidelines as a step in the right direction. Swyftx CEO & ASX Company director Jason Titman acknowledged that regulatory clarity could boost market confidence, even though Australia’s approach is unique and more stringent than other nations. The final version of these guidelines, expected by mid-2025, could determine whether Australia becomes a global leader in regulated crypto markets or loses its innovative edge. .article-inside-link { margin-left: 0 !important; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; padding: 10px 0; text-align: left; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 600; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0; display: inline-block; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child { display: none; } Also Read : Coinbase Declares War; Bans Firms Hiring Anti-Crypto Lawyers , Concerns for Smaller Businesses The tighter regulations are raising red flags for smaller crypto businesses. ASIC’s requirements, such as maintaining substantial reserves, are daunting for startups. Charlie Karaboga, CEO of Block Earner, highlighted that such mandates could stifle innovation and force startups to operate offshore. “This clarity is helpful but places immense financial strain on small businesses like ours,” Karaboga remarked. Legal experts also warn of a potential exodus of crypto firms from Australia. Joni Pirovich, a crypto lawyer, noted that the compliance costs are likely to deter new entrants, making Australia less competitive globally.
