<![CDATA[ASIC Grants Licensing Relief for Stablecoin Distribution]]>69fa26c5-3139-4fce-8b7a-fdcdcd0f432f-image.png

Australiaโ€™s corporate watchdog is easing compliance pressure on crypto intermediaries.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has introduced a new exemption that allows intermediaries to distribute certain stablecoins without holding their own financial services licenseโ€”provided the stablecoin is issued by an entity already licensed under the Australian financial services (AFS) regime.

The ASIC Corporations (Stablecoin Distribution Exemption) Instrument 2025/631 covers services such as:

General financial advice.

Secondary market making.

Custodial services.

Distribution of stablecoins (but not issuing).

ASIC stressed that this relief is designed to support responsible innovation, while ensuring that stablecoins remain under the oversight of licensed issuers.

The exemption is temporary and will expire on June 1, 2028, unless replaced earlier by a more permanent framework for payment stablecoins.

By easing the burden on intermediaries while keeping stablecoin issuance tied to licensed entities, it creates room for broader adoption without sacrificing consumer protection. A solid step toward a clearer, long-term framework for payment stablecoins in Australia. ๐Ÿš€
