Australian Cryptocurrency Regulations 2025

Australia plans to strengthen its cryptocurrency regulatory framework in 2025, with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) going to allow licensed intermediaries to issue stablecoins without separate approval and introduce a new licensing system for digital asset platforms. The government is strengthening consumer protection and market integrity construction, and the penetration of cryptocurrencies has risen to 32% of the total population. The tax law classifies cryptocurrencies as property and requires capital gains tax. You can enjoy a 50% reduction if you hold them for more than one year.
