1
Promote Australia as a Crypto Hub
Send a clear political signal that Australia is a welcoming hub for crypto, Web3, and blockchain innovation. Create a joint industry-government task force to drive collaboration, identify growth opportunities, and implement strategies that position Australia as a global leader in this technological shift.
2
Prioritise Legislation Regulating Digital Asset Platforms and Stablecoins
Fast track legislation to regulate Digital Asset Platforms to protect consumer assets and lay the foundation for the industry to thrive in Australia. Include comprehensive stablecoin legislation to allow for a vibrant, multi-currency stablecoin ecosystem that benefits consumers, including the payment of interest - reasserting Australia as a key center of commerce in the APAC region.
3
Promote Crypto as a Pillar of Technological Productivity
The Government should prioritise Tech innovation to drive productivity growth in Australia, crypto should be recognised as a central pillar of this. As AI scales the creation of content, crypto is needed to scale trust. Ensuring crypto is championed as a key productivity technology will draw talent back to our shores.
4
Deliver a Cross Government Strategy for Blockchain
Highlight blockchain’s transformative impact across government and key industries, including education, healthcare, sustainability, business, and supply chains. A well-coordinated national blockchain strategy—led by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources (DISR) and the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre (DFCRC)—will establish Australia as a global leader in blockchain innovation.
5
Create a Tokenisation Strategy for Australia
Create a national tokenisation strategy to drive innovation in financial services and real-world asset tokenisation. Provide clarity via policy on how tokens will be treated, and establish regulatory sandboxes that enable digital asset companies and traditional financial firms to test new tokenisation use cases beyond securities - reigniting Australia’s innovative fintech scene.
6
Explore a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
Explore policies that could allow Australia to quickly develop a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, ensuring we have a ‘fast-follow’ strategy ready to execute when needed.
