Jurisdiction
ASIC INFO 225 provides guidance on when crypto-assets (including crypto tokens, utility tokens, stablecoins, asset-referenced tokens, and tokenised assets) constitute financial products under the Corporations Act 2001 and ASIC Act 2001. Updated in October 2025 following CP 381 consultation, with 18 worked examples across five financial product categories. ASIC also issued a class no-action letter for transition to licensing until 30 June 2026. Key enforcement precedents include ASIC v Block Earner (managed investment scheme), ASIC v Bit Trade (design and distribution obligations), and ASIC v BPS Financial (Qoin — unlicensed conduct).
