澳洲的加密貨幣產業預計將在全球需求激增的情況下飆升

澳洲的加密貨幣產業已準備好利用全球需求激增的機會，但監管的清晰度至關重要。 Kraken Australia 執行長 Jonathon Miller 強調機構投資的湧入、穩定幣的採用以及貝萊德的代幣化努力是積極前景的指標。然而，他指出澳洲缺乏廣泛的製度需求，並強調需要製定合理的立法來實現負責任的收養。

Australia's Cryptocurrency Sector Poised for Growth Amidst Global Demand Surge

澳洲的加密貨幣產業預計在全球需求激增的情況下實現成長

Australia's budding cryptocurrency industry stands on the cusp of significant growth, propelled by a surge in global demand, an influx of institutional capital, and the widespread adoption of stablecoins. However, the sector's potential hinges on the timely implementation of clear and supportive regulatory frameworks by Australian lawmakers.

在全球需求激增、機構資本湧入以及穩定幣廣泛採用的推動下，澳洲新興的加密貨幣產業正處於顯著成長的風口浪尖。然而，該行業的潛力取決於澳洲立法者及時實施明確和支持性的監管框架。

According to Jonathon Miller, Managing Director of Kraken Australia, the nation's cryptocurrency sector is well-positioned to capitalize on a global "inflection point" in crypto demand, characterized by:

Kraken Australia 董事總經理 Jonathon Miller 表示，該國的加密貨幣行業處於有利位置，可以利用全球加密貨幣需求的“拐點”，其特點是：

• Influx of fresh capital into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
• Growing adoption of stablecoins, particularly in the retail and business sectors
• BlackRock's recent establishment of a $100 million tokenization fund on Ethereum

"We are now at a positive inflection point when it comes to demand. It feels like we're well and truly back in a positive place for crypto," Miller said, emphasizing the influx of institutional demand for cryptocurrencies in the United States, with fund managers such as Fidelity and BlackRock actively advising their clients to invest in Bitcoin.

新資本湧入現貨比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）穩定幣的採用不斷增加，特別是在零售和商業領域貝萊德最近在以太坊上設立了價值1 億美元的代幣化基金「我們現在正處於需求的積極拐點米勒表示：「感覺我們確實回到了加密貨幣的積極狀態。」他強調美國機構對加密貨幣的需求大量湧入，富達和貝萊德等基金管理公司積極建議他們的客戶投資加密貨幣。比特幣。

While institutional demand in Australia has yet to reach the same level, Miller noted a marked increase in interest from retail investors and crypto-related businesses within the country.

儘管澳洲的機構需求尚未達到相同水平，但米勒指出，該國散戶投資者和加密相關企業的興趣顯著增加。

"We're definitely not seeing that level of action in Australia, but it's certainly a stepping stone toward that," he said.

「我們肯定不會在澳洲看到這種程度的行動，但這肯定是邁向這一目標的墊腳石，」他說。

Miller attributed the growing domestic interest to the perceived benefits of stablecoins, widely regarded as the "killer app" of the cryptocurrency industry. Stablecoins, cryptocurrencies pegged to a stable asset such as the U.S. dollar, offer low volatility and increased accessibility, making them attractive for retail investors and businesses alike.

米勒將國內日益增長的興趣歸因於穩定幣的明顯好處，穩定幣被廣泛視為加密貨幣行業的「殺手級應用」。穩定幣是與美元等穩定資產掛鉤的加密貨幣，波動性低，可近性更高，對散戶投資者和企業都具有吸引力。

However, the Australian cryptocurrency sector's growth trajectory faces a major hurdle in the form of regulatory uncertainty.

然而，澳洲加密貨幣產業的成長軌跡面臨著監管不確定性的重大障礙。

"It's very hard to take risk and invest in the crypto space in Australia because there's just that lack of certainty," Miller explained.

「在澳大利亞，很難冒險投資加密貨幣領域，因為缺乏確定性，」米勒解釋。

He emphasized the need for clear and well-defined regulatory frameworks to provide businesses with the confidence to innovate and invest in the cryptocurrency sector. Miller praised the positive engagement his firm has had with Australian policymakers thus far, highlighting the importance of sensible legislation that fosters innovation while protecting consumers.

他強調需要製定明確且明確的監管框架，以便為企業提供創新和投資加密貨幣領域的信心。米勒讚揚了他的公司迄今為止與澳洲政策制定者的積極接觸，並強調了在保護消費者的同時促進創新的明智立法的重要性。

In October 2023, the Department of the Treasury released a consultation paper proposing mandatory financial services licenses from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) for cryptocurrency exchanges. ASIC head Alan Kirkland subsequently announced plans to address the "regulatory trilemma" of consumer protection, market integrity, and financial innovation in forthcoming regulatory reforms for the sector.

2023 年 10 月，財政部發布了一份諮詢文件，提議向澳洲證券和投資委員會（ASIC）頒發針對加密貨幣交易所的強制性金融服務許可證。 ASIC 負責人艾倫·柯克蘭 (Alan Kirkland) 隨後宣布，計劃在即將實施的行業監管改革中解決消費者保護、市場誠信和金融創新的「監管三難困境」。

Miller stressed the importance of crafting legislation that recognizes the international nature of cryptocurrencies, cautioning against over-localization that could hinder innovation and growth.

米勒強調了製定承認加密貨幣國際性質的立法的重要性，並警告不要過度本地化，這可能會阻礙創新和成長。

"You really don't want to pull this fourth-dimensional money into three-dimensional space-time. At the end of the day, you want to keep it in its plane and then make sure the regulations actually mitigate the real risks," he said.

「你真的不想把這些第四維度的錢拉進三維時空。最終，你想把它保留在它的平面上，然後確保法規實際上減輕了真正的風險，」他說。

The Australian cryptocurrency industry eagerly awaits the implementation of clear and supportive regulatory frameworks that will unlock its full potential and foster its continued growth.

澳洲加密貨幣產業熱切等待實施明確和支持性的監管框架，這將釋放其全部潛力並促進其持續成長。
