Australia is asking for public feedback on proposed rules for crypto trading platforms. The consultation follows Parliament’s April passage of digital asset laws and aims to set capital, custody and trading standards before a 2027 launch.
Australia’s securities regulator has launched a consultation on new rules for crypto trading platforms after Parliament passed digital asset legislation in April.
What’s being proposed
The regulator is seeking feedback on proposals that set capital requirements, custody standards and trading rules for crypto platforms. The consultation is part of the implementation work ahead of a planned 2027 rollout of the new regime.
Why it matters
If adopted, the proposals would create a clearer regulatory baseline for platforms operating in Australia — covering how much capital platforms must hold, how they safeguard customer assets, and the standards for trading activity. The consultation lets industry and the public comment on those details before the rules are finalised.
For traders and market-watchers: expect more detail to emerge as submissions come in and the regulator refines the proposals.
The takeaway: Australia is moving from law to rule-making — and it wants input before the new crypto platform standards kick in for 2027.
