Australia's financial regulator ASIC has set a September 30 deadline for crypto businesses to apply for or vary Australian Financial Services licenses or meet authorization arrangements, warning that failure to comply by October 1 could lead to breaches of financial services law with penalties including fines of up to 10% of annual turnover.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Crypto founders in Australia face a hard deadline that will shift how you operate legally from October 1. Licensing applications now open a door to keep your business compliant or face heavy penalties that could shut you down.
