Australia Imposes New Crypto Tax Rules: 15% Rate, ATM Caps and Investor Concerns

Australia’s government is introducing new cryptocurrency tax measures starting July 1, 2025, with a significant impact on the country’s digital asset landscape. Key changes include a 15% tax on unrealized gains exceeding $3 million AUD, a limit on crypto ATM transactions capped at $5,000 AUD, and potential decreases in investment inflows. Experts predict these measures could affect high-net-worth investors. 50% CGT discount for long-term holders, previously available in Australia, is being replaced with the new tax framework, leading to concerns about investor confidence.
