Australia announces new regulations for cryptocurrency ATMs

AUSTRAC, the Australian financial intelligence agency, announced new regulations on cryptocurrency ATMs: a cash transaction limit of 5000 Australian dollars per transaction, and operators are required to strengthen anti-money laundering monitoring, post fraud warnings, and implement stricter customer checks. This measure is aimed at combating increasingly rampant fraud.

Police said that between 2024 and 2025, the losses from related fraud cases exceeded 3.1 million Australian dollars, with the majority of victims being in the 60-70 age group. Australia currently has nearly 1820 cryptocurrency ATMs, making it the third largest market globally.

Economists expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in December, with two more cuts possible in 2026.

according to economists surveyed, Federal Reserve officials are expected to vote next week to cut interest rates again to guard against the rising risk of a sharp deterioration in the labor market. The median of respondents shows that the Fed is expected to implement two more 25 basis point rate cuts within the year starting from March 2026. Next week's rate cut will continue the momentum of rate cuts from the policy meetings in September and October. A considerable majority also expect Fed officials to once again reiterate the statement that "the downside risks to employment have increased in recent months," as they did in October. The Federal Reserve will announce its decision at 2 PM Washington time on December 10, followed by a press conference held by Chairman Jerome Powell.
