Could you please explain the regulations governing cryptocurrencies in Australia? I'm considering investing in this field but want to ensure I comply with all local laws and regulations. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing about any licensing requirements, tax implications, and any restrictions on the types of cryptocurrencies that can be traded or held. Additionally, are there any specific regulations for crypto exchanges or wallet providers operating in Australia? Thank you for your assistance.
