最新报道:According to Bijie.com, on September 18, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) announced a regulatory exemption for stablecoin intermediaries, allowing them to distribute stablecoins issued by Australian Financial Services (AFS) licensed issuers without the need to hold separate AFS, market, or clearing agency licenses. This is the first such collective exemption in Australia, intended to foster growth and innovation in the digital asset and payments sectors, and will take effect upon registration of federal legislation. Steve Vallas, CEO of Blockchain Asia Pacific, stated that this move is a "pragmatic" transitional measure prior to broader stablecoin reforms, helping to ease regulatory friction while Treasury finalizes its proposed stablecoin regime. As more stablecoins obtain AFS licenses, the exemption may be extended to more issuers.
