澳大利亚希望对交易所和其他虚拟资产服务提供商（VASP）施加更严格的金融业标准

在最近的一份文件中，工党政府提出了有关该行业警务的建议，该建议是在欧盟和新加坡的方法之后塑造的。

Australia is planning to impose stricter financial industry standards on exchanges and other virtual asset service providers (VASPs) as part of a broader move to set up a new legal and regulatory framework for the digital asset sector in the country.

澳大利亚计划在交易所和其他虚拟资产服务提供商（VASP）上施加更严格的金融业标准，这是为该国数字资产领域建立新的法律和监管框架的更广泛举措。

The Labour government outlined its proposals for policing the industry in a recent document, rolling out an approach that borrows from the European Union and Singapore.

工党政府在最近的一份文件中概述了其对行业进行治安的建议，并推出了一种从欧盟和新加坡借用的方法。

The Treasury’s ‘Statement on Developing an Innovative Australian Digital Asset Industry’ aims to “identify opportunities and manage risks, unlock innovation, protect consumers and uphold market integrity.”

财政部的“开发创新的澳大利亚数字资产行业的声明”旨在“确定机遇并管理风险，解锁创新，保护消费者并维护市场完整性”。

The new framework will apply to any VASP that holds digital assets for consumers, including exchanges, custodial wallets, some brokerages, and any business redeeming tokenized payment instruments. However, it won’t affect any firm dealing in non-financial digital asset products or developing software for use by others.

新框架将适用于任何为消费者提供数字资产的VASP，包括交流，托管钱包，一些经纪人以及任何兑换代币的付款工具。但是，它不会影响任何从事非金融数字资产产品或开发其他人使用的软件的公司。

VASPs covered by the new policy must adhere to “well-understood general obligations imposed on all financial service providers,” the document says. This includes providing services fairly and efficiently and avoiding conflicts of interest. They must also meet the minimum capital adequacy obligations.

该文件说，新政策所涵盖的VASP必须遵守“对所有金融服务提供商施加的一般义务”。这包括公平有效地提供服务并避免利益冲突。他们还必须履行最低资本充足义务。

It starts with a new licensing regime. Australian digital asset firms have been operating under the supervision of the securities watchdog, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), which expanded the country’s Corporations Act last year to include the ‘crypto’ sector. ASIC has been pushing for VASPs to hold market licenses, which are more challenging to obtain and have many restrictions.

它从新的许可制度开始。澳大利亚数字资产公司一直在美国证券监管机构，澳大利亚证券和投资委员会（ASIC）的监督下运营，该公司去年扩大了该国的公司法案，其中包括“加密货币”领域。 ASIC一直在推动VASP持有市场许可证，获得的市场许可更具挑战性并拥有许多限制。

However, under the proposed framework, these firms will only need to acquire an Australian financial services license, which is much easier to obtain. The Treasury will work with ASIC to tailor the obligations of the license to fit the unique features of digital assets, the paper adds.

但是，根据拟议的框架，这些公司只需要获得澳大利亚金融服务许可，这要容易得多。该纸张补充说，财政部将与ASIC合作，以量身定制符合数字资产独特功能的许可证的义务。

The Aussie government also intends to address the debanking of VASPs, where banks refuse to provide services to VASPs. It pledged to better understand the extent and nature of the practice and work with affected VASPs to ensure they can access banking services.

澳大利亚政府还打算解决VASP的撤销，银行拒绝向VASP提供服务。它承诺更好地了解实践的程度和性质，并与受影响的VASP合作，以确保他们可以访问银行服务。

“We want to seize these opportunities and encourage innovation at the same time as making sure Australians can use and invest in digital assets safely and securely with appropriate regulation,” Treasury stated.

财政部表示：“我们希望抓住这些机会并同时鼓励创新，因为确保澳大利亚人可以通过适当的法规安全安全地使用和投资数字资产。”

Pakistan ‘done sitting on the sidelines’ with digital assets

巴基斯坦与数字资产的“坐在场上”

Elsewhere, the head of a government unit pushing for digital asset adoption in Pakistan says that the country is ready to fully embrace the sector with enabling regulations and government support.

在其他地方，一个政府部门的负责人在巴基斯坦推动采用数字资产的负责人说，该国准备通过有能力的法规和政府支持来完全拥抱该行业。

Bilal Bin Saqib, who heads the Pakistan Crypto Council, says that the South Asian nation “is done sitting on the sidelines.”

巴基斯坦加密委员会负责人的比拉尔·本·萨基布（Bilal bin Saqib）说，南亚国家“坐在场边”。

“We want to have regulatory clarity. We need to have a legal framework that is pro-business…we need institutional adoption,” Saqib stated in an interview on Bloomberg TV.

萨基布在彭博电视台（Bloomberg TV）的一次采访中说：“我们想具有监管性的清晰度。我们需要拥有一个是亲企业的法律框架……我们需要采用机构。”

The Council was launched last week as a government initiative to push for the adoption of blockchain and digital assets in Pakistan. It was formed following a meeting between the Finance Ministry and a delegation from the U.S., which included people close to President Donald Trump. Saqib, a renowned entrepreneur, was selected to lead the council and advise the finance minister on digital assets.

该委员会于上周作为政府倡议启动，旨在推动在巴基斯坦采用区块链和数字资产。在财政部与美国代表团之间的会议之后，它成立了，其中包括与唐纳德·特朗普总统接近的人。著名的企业家萨基布（Saqib）被选为领导理事会的领导，并就数字资产的财政大臣提供建议。

According to Saqib, Trump’s election has been the biggest catalyst for Pakistan’s revamped interest in digital assets. While he has been caught up in several sideshows, such as his $TRUMP memecoin and the National Strategic Reserve, Trump has been one of the biggest tailwinds for the sector. His election has forced several governments globally to reevaluate their approach to digital assets, resulting in positive regulations.

据萨基布称，特朗普的当选是巴基斯坦对数字资产兴趣的最大催化剂。虽然他遇到了几个杂耍表演，例如他的特朗普纪念币和国家战略储备，但特朗普一直是该行业最大的远力阵风之一。他的当选迫使全球几个政府重新评估了其数字资产的方法，从而产生了积极的法规。

For Pakistan, digital assets are not new. The country is home to 15-20 million digital asset holders, says Saqib. It also consistently ranks among the highest adopters and has been in the top ten in the Chainalysis adoption index for the past four years.

对于巴基斯坦，数字资产并不新鲜。 Saqib说，该国拥有15-2000万个数字资产持有人。它也一直始终排名最高的采用者，并且在过去四年中一直是链分析采用指数的前十名。

Beyond offering better opportunities for the Pakistanis, Saqib believes that regulating digital assets will also attract foreign investment, which dipped 45% last month.

除了为巴基斯坦人提供更好的机会外，萨基布还认为，监管数字资产的规范也将吸引外国投资，该投资上个月下降了45％。
