KuCoin Registers With AUSTRAC, Expands Fiat On‑Ramps in Australia
The cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin is officially registered with Australia’s financial intelligence agency, AUSTRAC, as a digital currency exchange. With this registration, the exchange meets a necessary legal requirement that will allow it to offer crypto exchange services in the country, under formal regulatory oversight.
The registration was completed due to tightened scrutiny by Australian regulators, who have indicated that various digital assets must comply with existing financial laws. To strengthen its presence, KuCoin formed a strategic alliance with Echuca Trading, a firm already licensed by ASIC, seeking to integrate its crypto futures products into a regulated framework. Additionally, the platform has facilitated new fiat on-ramps for local currency deposits, simplifying operations for Australian users.
KuCoin’s AUSTRAC registration is just the first step in its regulatory consolidation. The exchange indicated that its strategy is to seek additional registrations to offer a wider range of services. Investors and the crypto community should closely monitor the progress of these applications and the impact that stricter ASIC regulation will have on the operation of tokenized products and stablecoins within the Australian ecosystem.
