According to CoinMeta, Australian financial regulators have proposed new standards for crypto exchanges and digital asset custodians, requiring companies to comply with regulations in terms of protecting customer funds, executing transactions, and meeting financial requirements. These new rules will come into effect in 2027, with the consultation period concluding on November 27th, and the final guidelines are expected to be released in March 2027. This proposal marks Australia's integration of crypto businesses into the same regulatory framework as traditional financial companies.
