here is a brief introction to the current regulatory framework of digital currency in Australia from the perspectives of digital currency definition, digital currency issuance and exchange:
I On the legal definition of digital currency
Australia added the definition of digital currency in the anti Xi money and Anti Terrorism Financing Act amended in 2017: digital currency is the representative of value in digital form; A unit that can act as an intermediary of exchange, a store of value, or an account; Issued by institutions other than the government; It can be exchanged with legal currency and used as consideration for goods or services; It is available to the general public without any restrictions on its use; Or other transaction means, digital proceres or credit means as stipulated in the anti money / anti terrorist financing laws.; Or other means of transaction, digital proceres or credit as stipulated in anti money / anti terrorist financing laws< Secondly, the regulation of digital currency issuance in Australia is mainly to determine whether a certain type of digital currency is a financial proct. If it is a financial proct, it should be regulated according to the relevant provisions of financial procts. If it is not a financial proct, it should be regulated according to the relevant provisions of financial procts, It should be regulated in accordance with the relevant provisions on consumer protection (Australian consumer law) and general legal provisions
of course, no matter whether a certain type of digital currency is a financial proct or not, there should be no misleading or deceptive behaviors in the process of its issuance, including: using social media to expand public attention and interest in ICO; Engage in or arrange specific people to trade virtual currency or virtual assets with specific strategies, so as to generate larger trading volume on the surface; The issuance information is not fully disclosed; Or for the ICO that has not obtained the approval from the regulatory department, publicize that it has obtained the approval from the regulatory department< According to Australian law, if digital currency constitutes one of the following types of financial procts, the regulatory framework of financial procts is applicable:
1, investment management plan
2, stocks
3, derivatives
4, non cash payment facilities
3 Digital currency trading platform
(1) all trading platforms involving the exchange between legal currency and virtual currency should be registered with austrac and subject to supervision
according to austrac's guidelines, from the perspective of anti Xi money / anti-terrorism financing supervision, all trading platforms involving the exchange between legal currency and virtual currency should be subject to supervision, It includes:

2. Adopt and maintain AML / CTF system
3. Report suspicious transactions and large transactions to austrac
4. Record and save user information, transaction information and the implementation of AML / CTF system

according to statistics, Although the number of licensed exchanges in Australia is relatively small, the quality is relatively high, and most of them are small and medium-sized, and the types of transactions are mainly spot transactions. Moreover, the current Australian exchange license is strictly regulated by ASIC and other departments. It can be seen that while Australia is striving to protect the financial order and investors' rights and interests, It will also give the development of digital currency a bright future, and the development of digital currency in Australia will be unstoppable.
