Australia outlines crypto regulation plan, promises action on debanking
The Albanese-led government intends to release draft legislation in 2025 for public consultation and promised to work with Australias four largest banks to better understand de-banking.
Australias government, under its ruling center-left Labor Party, has proposed a new crypto framework regulating exchanges under existing financial services laws and has promised to tackle debanking.
It comes ahead of a federal election slated to be held on or before May 17, which current polling shows is shaping up to a dead heat between Prime Minister Anthony Albaneses Labor and the opposing Coalition led by Peter Dutton.
The Treasury Department said in a March 21 statement that crypto exchanges, custody services and some brokerage firms that trade or store crypto will come under the new laws.
