In a consultation paper, the Australian Treasury highlighted the growing imperative to regulate these platforms, citing examples of vulnerabilities and failures. 
The government's strategy involves leveraging established Australian financial services laws. 
Under this scheme, platforms with assets of AU$1,500 (about $948) for an individual or AU$5 million (about $3.2 million) in total or more are required to obtain an Australian Financial Services Licence. 
Regulators are also considering the implementation of certain obligations, including the establishment of standards for custody software and guidelines for token transactions. 
The proposed framework will impose more obligations for various activities such as trading, staking, tokenization and fundraising.
