Australia's financial intelligence agency AUSTRAC has launched two special regulatory initiatives targeting the crypto industry to support the implementation of the country's new Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) reforms. The review focuses on the AML risk management and compliance readiness of over-the-counter crypto cash operators and local exchanges. Australia is also expanding its regulatory scope to include Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), covering custody, brokerage, and more crypto services. The new Travel Rule requirements will take effect on July 1, 2026. https://(wublock123.com)/news/austrac-launches-crypto-industry-compliance-crackdown-60738
