These include requirements for customer asset protection, securing an Australian Financial Services Licence, and maintaining minimum capital levels. However, smaller crypto platforms and non-financial digital asset firms will be exempt from the regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Stablecoins, as part of the new rules, will fall under the Payments Licensing Reforms but will not be treated as traditional financial products in some cases, with certain stablecoins and wrapped tokens excluded from the regulatory scope.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/economist-slams-bitcoin-reserve-warns-of-investor-losses-under-trump\/\" title=\"Economist Slams Bitcoin Reserve, Warns of Investor Losses Under Trump\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/bitcoin-6-11-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Economist Slams Bitcoin Reserve, Warns of Investor Losses Under Trump<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Along with these rules, Prime Minister Albanese&#8217;s government has pledged to address the issue of de-banking, which has become a challenge for many in the crypto industry. The government also plans to investigate the potential of a central bank digital currency, with a more flexible testing environment for new financial products expected in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>As Australia awaits the election, there\u2019s speculation that a change in leadership could impact the country\u2019s approach to crypto regulation. Industry leaders like BTC Markets CEO Caroline Bowler and Kraken Australia\u2019s Jonathon Miller have welcomed the framework but have called for clearer details on requirements for capital adequacy
