Australia's financial intelligence agency AUSTRAC announced new regulations for cryptocurrency ATMs: a cash transaction limit of AUD 5,000 per transaction, and requiring operators to strengthen anti-money laundering monitoring, post fraud warnings, and implement stricter customer reviews. This initiative aims to tackle the increasingly rampant fraud.

Police stated that between 2024 and 2025, losses from related fraud cases exceeded AUD 3.1 million, with victims primarily in the 60-70 age group. Australia currently has nearly 1,820 cryptocurrency ATMs, making it the third largest market in the world.
