All currencies (including traditional fiat currencies), are utilised by some bad actors for illicit purposes. 

However, cryptocurrencies are in fact broadly unsuitable for such activities, as the blockchain creates a permanent record of transactions which gives authorities an invaluable means to track criminal behaviour. 

Based on analysis by blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, less than 0.15% of all cryptocurrency transactions in 2021 were for illicit purposes.

Digital assets have a broad range of real world use cases, as evidenced by the growing number of protocols generating significant user derived revenues.

Examples include GMX (derivatives trading revenue), Ethereum (fees paid for execution of smart contracts) and AAVE (earn interest on, and borrow against digital assets) 

Cryptocurrency usage is seeing rapid take-up with an estimated 300m people worldwide now connected to the digital asset ecosystem.

While regulation is an ongoing process, Australian authorities are actively engaged.

In October 2021, the Australian Government released a report, laying out a roadmap for the implementation of, among other recommendations;

• A token mapping exercise to characterise the various types of digital assets available in Australia
• Clarified Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing regulations, as they relate to digital assets
• A revised Capital Gains Tax regime so that digital asset transactions only create a CGT event when they genuinely result in a clearly definable capital gain or loss
• A policy review from Treasury to determine the viability of a Central Bank digital currency in Australia
