Australia's Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is preparing to regulate digital asset and tokenized asset custody platforms under a new framework scheduled to launch in April 2027. The regulator aims to oversee these platforms while monitoring market integrity and managing associated risks. ASIC will release consultation papers, guidance documents, and draft rules as part of the regulatory development process. This initiative establishes a formal oversight structure for custodial services handling digital and tokenized assets within the Australian jurisdiction.
