澳大利亚加密独角兽浪潮蓄势待发，监管清晰度是关键

以其科技产业而闻名的澳大利亚，估值超过 10 亿美元的加密货币初创公司有望激增。然而，Coinbase 的 John O'Loghlen 认为，监管的明确性对于促进该行业的增长至关重要。 O'Loghlen 强调需要制定法规来确保融资并安抚投资者，从而促进 Immutable 或 Illuvium 等成功初创公司的发展。尽管监管方面取得了一些进展，但 O'Loghlen 强调需求与监管确定性之间的差距，715 万澳大利亚人拥有加密货币以及独立储备银行报告的高投资率就证明了这一点。金融科技行业对稳定币、数字汇款和加密货币的高效使用的需求为澳大利亚初创企业提供了实现显着增长的机会，并追随 Canva、Xero、Atlassian 和 Afterpay 等成功科技公司的脚步。

Australia Poised for Cryptocurrency Unicorn Surge, Regulatory Clarity Crucial

澳大利亚准备迎接加密货币独角兽激增，监管清晰度至关重要

Australia stands on the cusp of producing its next wave of cryptocurrency "unicorns" — startups valued at $1 billion or more — but a lack of regulatory certainty remains a barrier to the industry's full potential, according to John O'Loghlen, managing director of Coinbase's APAC region.

Coinbase 董事总经理 John O'Loghlen 表示，澳大利亚正处于产生下一波加密货币“独角兽”（估值 10 亿美元或以上的初创公司）的风口浪尖，但缺乏监管确定性仍然是该行业充分发挥潜力的障碍。亚太地区。

O'Loghlen told Cointelegraph that influential lawmakers and prominent business figures have yet to grasp the exceptional human capital available in Australia for the cryptocurrency sector. He stressed the urgent need for clarity in digital asset regulations to secure financial support, boost investor confidence, and foster the development of future success stories like Immutable and Illuvium.

O'Loghlen 告诉 Cointelegraph，有影响力的立法者和知名商界人士尚未掌握澳大利亚加密货币领域的卓越人力资本。他强调，迫切需要明确数字资产监管，以确保财务支持、增强投资者信心并促进 Immutable 和 Illuvium 等未来成功案例的发展。

While acknowledging some regulatory progress, including the Treasury's October 2023 consultation paper and informal discussions with legislators at the Blockchain APAC Summit in March, O'Loghlen maintains that these initiatives fall short of the rapidly growing institutional and retail demand for cryptocurrencies.

O'Loghlen 承认一些监管进展，包括财政部 2023 年 10 月的咨询文件以及 3 月份在亚太区区块链峰会上与立法者进行的非正式讨论，但他坚持认为，这些举措未能满足机构和零售对加密货币快速增长的需求。

According to a 2024 investor survey conducted by Australian cryptocurrency exchange Independent Reserve, approximately 27.5% of the population, or 7.15 million Australians, currently own cryptocurrencies. A staggering 35% of cryptocurrency investors in Australia report investing nearly $500 monthly in digital assets.

根据澳大利亚加密货币交易所 Independent Reserve 进行的 2024 年投资者调查，目前约有 27.5% 的人口，即 715 万澳大利亚人拥有加密货币。令人震惊的是，澳大利亚 35% 的加密货币投资者每月投资近 500 美元在数字资产上。

O'Loghlen believes the expanding need for stablecoins, digital remittances, and a plethora of capital-efficient cryptocurrency applications within Australia's fintech industry presents an ideal breeding ground for the next multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency venture.

O'Loghlen 认为，澳大利亚金融科技行业对稳定币、数字汇款和大量资本效率高的加密货币应用的需求不断扩大，为下一个数十亿美元的加密货币企业提供了理想的滋生地。

"We've got some businesses here that have the potential to be the next Canva, the next Xero, the next Atlassian, the next Afterpay," O'Loghlen said, referring to several Australian companies with multi-billion dollar valuations. "These are the types of businesses that can build out and employ 100s of people."

奥洛格伦说：“我们这里的一些企业有潜力成为下一个 Canva、下一个 Xero、下一个 Atlassian、下一个 Afterpay。”他指的是几家估值数十亿美元的澳大利亚公司。 “这些类型的企业可以建立并雇用数百名员工。”

However, regulatory uncertainty threatens to stifle this potential. O'Loghlen pointed to the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) recent enforcement actions against cryptocurrency companies in the United States as a cautionary tale for Australia.

然而，监管的不确定性可能会扼杀这种潜力。奥洛格伦指出，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）最近对美国加密货币公司采取的执法行动对澳大利亚来说是一个警示。

"If we are to avoid the same level of regulatory overreach or confusion that we're seeing in the United States, we must act now," he said.

他说：“如果我们要避免像美国那样出现同样程度的监管过度或混乱，我们就必须立即采取行动。”

O'Loghlen urged the Australian government to establish a clear and proportionate regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, emphasizing the need for a collaborative approach involving industry leaders, regulators, and policymakers.

奥洛格伦敦促澳大利亚政府为加密货币建立一个明确且相称的监管框架，强调需要行业领导者、监管机构和政策制定者采取合作方式。

"We need a regulatory environment that encourages innovation while protecting consumers and ensuring the integrity of the financial system," he said. "With the right approach, Australia can become a global leader in the digital asset economy."

“我们需要一个鼓励创新、同时保护消费者并确保金融体系完整性的监管环境，”他说。 “通过正确的方法，澳大利亚可以成为数字资产经济的全球领导者。”
