Australia is making a decisive move to confront the issue of de-banking in the cryptocurrency sector, as announced by the Treasury.
Recognizing the gravity of the problem, the government has lent its support to policy recommendations aimed at resolving it.
The Council of Financial Regulators (CFR) has been at the forefront of efforts on de-banking, garnering significant attention in their campaign. This announcement not only affirms their work but also indicates a broader governmental consensus on the matter.
Australia’s banking landscape, including the major Commonwealth Bank (CBA), has recently faced challenges with crypto entities. Also, Binance Australia suspended AUD services as its third-party provider withdrew support.
To address this, the government has backed the proposal that the nation’s four largest banks should align with the policies to tackle de-banking issues effectively.
This development underscores the increasing recognition of cryptocurrency’s role in the financial ecosystem and the need for effective regulatory measures to ensure its seamless integration.
