Crypto in Australia

Allowed

Crypto exchanges serving Australians must be registered with AUSTRAC (an anti-money-laundering registration, not an AFS licence).

“It is an offence to provide digital currency exchange services without being registered with AUSTRAC”

Cryptoassets are highly volatile and largely unregulated in some countries. You could lose all the money you invest, and you may not be protected by a compensation scheme.
