AUSTRAC’s framework covers designated services including exchanges between money and virtual assets, crypto-to-crypto exchange, safekeeping and certain transfers for customers.
AUSTRAC says providers must register before providing virtual asset services in Australia. Registration can be refused, suspended, cancelled or subject to conditions. Check the current register.
Registration is not an endorsement of a token or a guarantee of financial safety. Provider activities, legislative scope and commencement arrangements matter.
Cryptocurrency is high-risk. This guide does not assess your individual circumstances or provide financial, investment, tax or legal advice.
