Australia's Crypto Platforms Have Until 27 November to Meet ASIC's New Licensing Rules

  • —Consultation runs until 5pm AEDT on 27 November 2026
  • —New rules take effect on 8 April 2027 under the DAF Act
  • —ASIC has received over 140 digital asset licence applications, including 110+ under INFO 225
  • —Two new categories introduced: digital asset platforms (DAPs) and tokenised custody platforms (TCPs)
Why it matters: Australia is folding crypto platforms into its financial services regime, setting a precedent for other jurisdictions and raising the bar for licensing.
