Australia’s securities regulator extends no-action relief for digital asset businesses, allowing extra time to secure or adjust financial services licenses.
Australia’s corporate regulator ASIC has extended its no-action relief for digital asset firms to September 30, 2026. The move provides an additional three months for businesses to obtain or vary financial services licenses without enforcement action.
The relief now also covers firms operating under authorized representative and intermediary arrangements with licensed entities. ASIC initially introduced the grace period in 2022 to support industry transition amid evolving regulatory frameworks.
No immediate market reaction was reported following the announcement.
