In 2022, the crypto space faced a high rate of scams and fraudulent activities, especially in the DeFi sector. Scammers use phishing, fake ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings), Ponzi schemes, and impersonation techniques to trick people into giving up their cryptocurrencies.  Unfortunately, the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies made it easier for scammers to operate and harder for authorities to track and prosecute them. Now, many countries are increasing strategies to fight scammers. One of the countries making serious moves to combat scams in its crypto space is Australia.

Australian Government’s Approach Against Crypto Scams The Australian government is improving its efforts to fight cryptocurrency scams with a new “multi-stage” approach. The plan involves strengthening crypto watchdogs like the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) to regulate and monitor the crypto industry. As per the joint statement by the Australian Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, and his assistant, Stephen Jones, increasing funding and resources for ASIC is a key element. This move will allow the agency to detect and prosecute individuals and companies engaging in fraudulent crypto-related activities. The government also plans to work with industry leaders to develop a new set of standards and guidelines for the crypto industry, with a focus on the safety of consumers. The statement also noted that the government would launch public awareness about the risks of investing in cryptocurrencies. In light of the risk disclosure, investors would know how to protect themselves from future scams. The multi-stage approach by the government will generally include bolstering consumer protection, establishing a reform framework, and strengthening enforcement. Through the government’s action, investors can identify red flags and see reasons to research before investing in crypto assets. The approach to strengthening crypto watchdogs in Australia is part of a broader trend of governments worldwide. It’s a decision to take a more proactive move to regulate the crypto industry. With the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies, it is becoming increasingly important for governments to ensure that investors are safe from fraud and scams.
