Australia Proposes New Licensing Regime for Crypto Exchanges, Aims for Draft Legislation by 2024 Australia expects to release a draft legislation which covers licensing and custody rules for crypto asset providers by 2024, and once the legislation becomes law, exchanges will have 12 months to transition to the new regime, Australia's Treasury announced on Monday. The timeline indicates it could take till 2025 for an Australian digital asset platform to receive a licence under the freshly proposed regime. Still, the developments are some of the most significant steps taken by Australia's government towards framing crypto regulation. The proposal was expected by mid-2023 after being first announced in February 2023. The delayed October consultation paper is separate from an earlier token mapping consultation paper. Token mapping is the process of identifying the key activities and functions of crypto products and mapping them against existing regulatory frameworks.The proposal's publication coincided with a speech by Australia's Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Financial Services Stephen Jones at The Australian Financial Review Crypto Summit (AFRCM). Details of what the proposal would entail were first reported by AFR. “Australia has been waiting for certainty over digital asset regulation so it can seek to catch up with the rest of the world," Michael Bacina, digital asset lawyer at Piper Alderman and Chair of Blockchain Australia told CoinDesk from the Summit. "The approach is consumer-protection centric, with a broad net set to capture many business models not currently regulated. NFT marketplaces holding customer assets could also require licensing."Additionally, the Treasury and Reserve Bank of Australia will publish a "joint report around the middle of 2024 that will provide a stocktake on central bank digital currency (CBDC) research in Australia and set out a roadmap for future work," said Dr Brad Jones, Assistant Governor (Financial System) at the Reserve Bank of Australia in a speech.

Are NFTs really dead and buried? All signs point to ‘yes
Bored Ape NFTs for more than US$20 million in September 2021. They’re now facing a lawsuit from a disgruntled buyer.As with Bitcoin and similar speculative tokens, the primary driver for buying NFTs was greed. Seeing the initial price rises, people hoped they too could make huge profits. NFTs are essentially a superficially sophisticated form of gambling. Like Bitcoin, they have no fundamental value.Generally, one would only profit from buying an NFT by finding a “greater fool” willing to pay even more for it. So there was never a shortage of people – including some quite famous ones – talking them up and hoping to instil a fear of missing out.Eminem bought a Bored Ape that looked a bit like him. Rapper KSI boasted on Twitter about his Bored Ape rising in price.For a while there were large increases in the prices of many NFTs. But like all speculative bubbles, it was likely to end in tears. Although it’s almost impossible to predict when a bubble for a speculative asset will burst, we have seen this process play out before.Centuries ago there were the Dutch tulip, South Sea and Mississippi bubbles. Around 1970, there was a speculative bubble in the shares of nickel miner Poseidon. Then came the Beanie Baby and dotcom booms of the late 1990s – and more recently, meme stocks and Terra-Luna cryptocurrency.The NFT crashPunters now seem to be as bored with NFTs as the apes. Google searches for “NFT” – which grew rapidly through 2021 – have fallen away dramatically. Trading volumes have collapsed.But unless some actual use is found for them, NFTs are likely to fade further from public discussion, with their prices increasingly trending down (although the occasional blip up may give die-hard fans some hope).They will probably join the Dutch tulips and dotcoms in the history of speculative follies.
CANADA'S INTERIM REGULATIONS FOR STABLECOINS ADDRESS MARKET CONCERNS
The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), a regulatory body overseeing securities regulation in Canada, has taken steps to provide clarity in the realm of stablecoin investments. The CSA has released interim terms and conditions aimed at guiding cryptocurrency exchanges and asset issuers regarding stablecoins, often referred to as "value-referenced crypto assets." Earlier this year, the CSA reaffirmed its position that certain stablecoins could be considered securities or derivatives, subjecting them to regulatory restrictions on trading. This stance created a degree of uncertainty in the market, prompting the CSA to release these guidelines to bring clarity to the sector. Stan Magidson, the Chair of CSA and the Alberta Securities Commission, emphasized that these regulations are designed to protect investors and enhance trust in the market. He stated, "The transparency of value-referenced crypto assets about the composition and adequacy of their reserves and their governance are critical issues that must be addressed to protect Canadian investors and the integrity of our capital markets." Reserve Requirements: Stablecoin issuers must maintain adequate and verifiable reserves with a qualified custodian to ensure stability and prevent losses due to market volatility or fraudulent activities.
Governance Disclosures: Value-referenced crypto assets and exchanges are required to publish essential information related to platform governance, tokenomics, and operational mechanisms.
The CSA also cautioned Canadians that, despite these regulations, the cryptocurrency market remains risky, and the release of these guidelines should not be interpreted as an endorsement of any particular asset or exchange.
The collapse of the Terra Network and the subsequent issues with FTX have intensified regulatory efforts in the stablecoin and cryptocurrency exchange space. Some exchanges, such as Binance, have responded by issuing periodic proof-of-reserves to demonstrate the safety and security of user funds.
