Australian digital asset companies have been granted an additional three months to obtain regulatory approvals after the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) extended its industry no-action policy until September 30, 2026. The exemption applies to companies offering financial services using digital assets that may fall under existing financial product regulations.

The extension gives companies more time to apply for an Australian Financial Services (AFS) license or amend an existing license. ASIC also extended the exemption to companies using authorized representative or intermediary arrangements with an AFS licensee.
