Australia digital asset regulation bill passes parliament, focuses on actual custody platforms

The bill will take effect 12 months after royal assent and includes an additional transition period for compliance. An explanatory memorandum says the law applies only to platforms that actually hold customers' cryptoassets, not those providing only control-assisting technology.

He warned the bill could classify many tokens as securities and weaken protections for DeFi developers.

The study also found some regained clarity and ownership by designing reasoning themselves, while warning LLM use is becoming a social norm and infrastructure.
