ASIC has recorded over 45 applications for digital-asset service licenses, an increase of about 15 since June, ahead of the September 30 deadline after extending transitional relief. From October 1, firms without proper authorization risk penalties up to 10% of annual turnover as ASIC tightens enforcement ahead of a new digital asset platform regime taking effect in April 2027.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You need to act now to submit or update your ASIC license application before the September 30 deadline to avoid heavy penalties. ASIC’s tightening enforcement is closing a window previously eased by transitional relief, signalling no more delays for crypto service compliance in Australia.
