Digital currency ASX
Hello! I'm glad to answer your question
at present, there are few countries in the world that issue supervision licenses for digital currency asset transactions, such as austrac license in Australia, MTR digital currency transaction / wallet license in Estonia, token license in Thailand and jvcea virtual currency transaction license in Japan
among the digital currency trading licenses in the above countries, Japan and Thailand have too high qualification requirements, and few exchanges or indivials meet the qualification requirements
Australia austrac and Estonian MTR can basically meet the qualification requirements. However, after the amendment of Estonian act on March 10, 2020, and the promulgation of the act on qualification, capital verification and local actual office space, the application cycle will be extended accordingly
at present, only ausrac in Australia is the most suitable license for digital currency asset trading license. It does not need capital verification, certificate fee and local office address. The application cycle is short and the qualification requirements are low. It can basically meet the qualification requirements. It has high international reputation and is the most cost-effective license at present. It can be considered directly
these exchanges basically support mainstream digital currencies such as bitcoin, Ethereum, wikilink and lightcoin.
Hello
after Huo coin, okcoin and Yipai payment successively obtained the US financial license of MSB, the MSB financial license has graally attracted the attention of the domestic instry. Today, I will analyze the gold content of this American MSB< br />
the main reason is that there are few blockchains in banks and financial institutions
banks and financial institutions are also judging what kind of impact blockchain technology will have on the financial instry. Now most of them are mainly wait-and-see and testing, so even if they fail, it is an expected or acceptable trial failure.
license requirements will apply AML / CTF rules to enterprises trading digital currency (such as bitcoin exchange). More specifically, digital currency dealers will be required to:
1. Digital currency dealers in Australia must handle austrac and provide all business details. If the company providing digital currency transactions does not apply for austrac's license, it may result in two years' imprisonment, a fine of aud105000, or both
2. Establish and maintain AML / CTF programs to identify, mitigate and manage the money laundering and terrorist financing risks they may encounter
3. Identify and verify the customer's identity
4. Report suspicious activities and transactions involving legal currency, exceeding aud10000 or more (or equivalent) to austrac
5. Maintain special records on transactions, customer identification and AML / CTF projects for 7 years
the trading platform has complete qualifications, and natural users and investment talents can rest assured. Therefore, legal qualifications have become the focus of attention in terms of law, publicity and promotion. Even it is normal for the platform to apply for trading licenses in multiple countries.

Australia is a leading core financial market in the world. Obtaining Australia's austrac regulatory license can greatly enhance the strength of the platform and the confidence of customers. It is a standard license for digital currency trading institutions. Australian license still has a high gold content, which can lay a foundation for the later exchange publicity< br />
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:
1. Register with austrac
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
(2) all trading platforms of trading financial procts should obtain licenses
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.
