The Committee has published a report stating the need to encourage investors and provide protection against fraud.

The legislators considered the importance of establishing a regime of custodial or depository storage of digital assets with minimum standards. The main recommendation is to create a new regulatory structure for the DAO related to decentralized community management and protocol. Another proposal was benefits for “green” miners.

“The committee has recommended a comprehensive crypto framework to deliver Australian leadership. We’ll be competitive with Singapore, the U.K. and the U.S.”
