Australia Lists Cryptocurrency Regulatory Loopholes on 2026 Risk List
PANews, January 27—According to Decrypt, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission has listed regulatory loopholes in cryptocurrency as one of its key risks for 2026. The agency pointed out that the rapid growth of crypto, payment, and artificial intelligence companies operating at the regulatory margins could expose consumers to risks such as unlicensed advice and misleading conduct.
This warning comes as Australia advances the “2025 Corporations Amendment (Digital Assets Framework) Bill,” which aims to establish the country’s first regulatory framework for companies that custody client digital assets, requiring relevant platforms to hold an Australian Financial Services License. ASIC stated that although some companies legally operate outside the current regulatory scope, there are also entities intentionally evading regulation, exacerbating regulatory uncertainty.
