[This feedback request] is aligned to and supportive of the Government\u2019s broader work in relation to the proposed payment services reform and digital asset facility reforms.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, ASIC's proposed updates aim to clarify the classification of digital assets under current law, providing practical examples of assets that qualify as financial products. These examples include exchange tokens, NFTs, memecoins, and tokenized assets.<\/p>\n<p>The regulator is also exploring whether to add <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/cryptos\/stablecoin\/\">stablecoins<\/a> and wrapped tokens to the list of classified financial products. ASIC said it seeks input on the issues arising from the potential transition to the government\u2019s proposed digital asset platform and payment stablecoins regimes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, ASIC is reviewing the Australian Financial Services (AFS) <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/australia-moves-to-license-crypto-firms-to-bolster-market-security\/\">licensing system<\/a> and considering new requirements for digital asset businesses. This could include the need for multiple licenses. The regulator also contemplates a &#8220;no action&#8221; stance for businesses already applying for an AFS license.<\/p>\n<p>Feedback is due by 5 P.M. on Feb. 28, 2025. ASIC plans to release the final version of the updated framework in mid-2025.<\/p>\n<p>ASIC Commissioner Alan Kirkland emphasized the commission's goal of fostering financial innovation while prioritizing consumer protection. He noted that a well-regulated financial system would enhance consumer confidence, market integrity, and healthy competition.<\/p>\n<p>Kirkland commented:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Australia\u2019s financial services regulatory regime is broad and technology neutral. Many digital assets and related products are financial products under the current law. Stakeholders have been calling for greater clarity and in response, we are releasing our draft updated guidance.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This request follows the recent update to Information Sheet 225 (INFO 225), which provides new guidance for those offering digital asset products and services. The update also clarifies ASIC's stance on classifying digital assets as financial products and outlines the criteria needed to obtain an ASIC license for financial services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is inviting public feedback on proposed changes to its crypto regulation framework, as outlined in a Dec. 4 announcement.
