Could you please enlighten me on a matter related to cryptocurrency trading in Australia? I'm somewhat perplexed about the necessity of having an ABN, or Australian Business Number, for engaging in such transactions. Is it mandatory for individuals seeking to trade cryptocurrencies in our country to possess an ABN? If so, what are the specific reasons behind this requirement? Conversely, if an ABN is not required, could you elaborate on the regulatory framework that governs crypto trading in Australia and how it applies to individual investors? Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this matter.

Could you please clarify something for me? I've been hearing a lot about Kraken recently and I'm trying to understand its operations. Now, I'm just a bit confused about its location.
