Australia treats spot crypto and crypto derivatives as different regulatory objects and gives them different answers, but neither is banned. Holding and trading crypto is lawful — ASIC's consumer site describes buying and selling crypto on a trading platform as an ordinary thing to do while warning it is highly speculative — though it is careful to say that crypto-assets, even Australian dollar stablecoins, are not legal tender in Australia and are not widely accepted as payment. The government was consulting on exposure-draft legislation to bring digital asset platforms and tokenised custody platforms in as new financial products when INFO 225 was last updated, so this perimeter is expected to move.
