Now, it's like "Deja Vu"...
BREAKING: Australia - Cryptocurrency to Be Treated As a Prominent Trading Market!
In 2018 alone, fintech has brought in >$675 million into Australia.
Since the trend appears to be ramping up, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), has published a corporate plan for Australia's economic future.
Similar to the Philippine SEC, ASIC intends to regulate the over 15 cryptocurrency exchanges and treat the crypto trading space as a prominent market.
In other words, ASIC would treat the crypto trading market just like a securities market; creating a “regulated market infrastructure” applicable to crypto exchanges.
See:
In its a corporate plan for 2018–2022, released Friday, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) outlined its areas of focus for the period. Top of that list is to continue "monitoring threats of harm from emerging products" such as ICOs and cryptocurrencies.

Australia’s primary securities regulator is focusing efforts to keep a close eye on the cryptocurrency sector, including ICOs, as part its corporate action plan for 2018-19.
Having stressed in April that it would keep an “open mind” to cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings (ICOs) domestically, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) pinned harmful threats from the sector as its first “focus area” to be monitored in its corporate plan for 2018-2022.

I thought Australia legitimize cryptos long ago

@bsfmalaysia,
Australia, like many other countries, "tolerates" the crypto space; but heretofore, has no official regulatory mechanisms in place for the protection of consumers - a la SEC style oversight that's found in the legacy markets.
Consequently, there is no set of minimum standards for entry, "best practices" policies for current entities, recourse for scammed customers, or penalties for bad actors, and so on.
It's "caveat emptor" for those entering the cryptocurrency space.
Because of this, risk-averse neophyte investors with limited capital as well as institutional and accredited investors possessing very deep pockets, are shy to enter the cryptocurrency space; hence, retarding mass adoption.
But now, the sheer growth and predicted market cap of cryptos is forcing more and more countries to consider cryptocurrency markets as something bigger than "toy geek money for the outliers of society (aka anarchists, criminals, etc.).
Thank you for visiting and commenting.

wow! geat news. with this time that crypto is down, I am still buying a little.
your profile is impressive.
I am from Davao but living in Singapore
I've heard from a lot of people that Davao is a great place.
Also, many years ago, my friends told me that the people of Davao were very friendly. They also said that they felt very safe.
Oh yeah, they also told me about Duterte riding around the city on his big motorcycle; his shiny, large calibre pistol clearly visible to the public. LOl!
Thank you for visiting, commenting and of course, you kind words.
May you and yours be well and love life today.
Namaste, JaiChai
