New rules prove to be old ones

ASIC also intends to create a new policy for electronic exchanges that would deal with principles for managing the providers of market infrastructures to virtual trading platforms. This, experts believe, will put the sector of online exchanges on the same level of attention as conventional operators of the financial market.

Regulators tighten their hold of the industry

Australian online asset exchanges already work under the supervision of another regulator– the Australian Transactions and Reporting Analysis Center (AUSTRAC).

Bitcoin exchanges now have to be part of the AUSTRAC’s special register for online traders and also follow the compulsory anti-money laundering- and KYC requirements.
