Australia Embraces ’Digital Assets’ in Latest Crypto Regulation Update

The move aims to bring clarity to the rapidly evolving digital assets sector, signaling a maturation of the market.
While the announcement does not specify individual cryptocurrencies, the regulatory framework will likely impact major assets like BTC and ETH, which dominate trading volumes on platforms such as Binance and Coinbase. The development reflects a global trend of jurisdictions seeking to balance innovation with investor protection.
