ASIC’s emphasis on digital assets comes amid ongoing enforcement actions and proposed reforms to formally regulate crypto companies in Australia.

On Tuesday, a federal court ordered BPS Financial to pay 14 million Australian dollars ($9.3 million) over misleading claims and unlicensed conduct linked to its Qoin Wallet product. The case underscores ASIC’s focus on unlicensed crypto activity.

Meanwhile, Australia’s Treasury has proposed legislation requiring digital asset platforms to hold an Australian Financial Services Licence. If passed, the rules would bring crypto trading and custody firms under ASIC’s existing conduct, disclosure and risk management obligations.

ASIC has placed crypto firms alongside AI-powered financial services and payment platforms in its latest outlook, warning that technology-enabled businesses are increasingly challenging existing regulatory frameworks.

The regulator cautioned that some companies may deliberately try to stay outside formal regulation by exploiting unclear boundaries, contributing to what it described as regulatory uncertainty. ASIC said ensuring clarity on licensing requirements and maintaining effective perimeter oversight will remain a key focus in 2026.

The approach suggests regulators are less concerned with the technology itself and more focused on how new financial services fit within Australia’s existing regulatory system.

Australia’s financial regulator has signaled closer scrutiny of crypto firms in the year ahead, framing digital assets as a “regulatory perimeter” issue in its Key Issues Outlook 2026.

In the report published Tuesday, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) grouped digital assets with emerging sectors such as payments and AI-driven financial services. Rather than focusing on price volatility or adoption risks, ASIC highlighted structural concerns around businesses operating outside existing licensing, disclosure and conduct regimes.

The regulator said its priority for 2026 will be maintaining clarity around licensing boundaries and strengthening oversight where new financial services fall at the edges of current laws.

Experts warn that Clawdbot’s deep system access makes it especially risky if improperly secured. Unlike many AI assistants, Clawdbot can read and write files, run shell commands, execute scripts, and control browsers on a user’s machine.

Archestra AI CEO Matvey Kukuy demonstrated the risk by extracting a private key via prompt injection in under five minutes. SlowMist urged users running Clawdbot to audit their setups immediately and apply strict IP whitelisting, warning that powerful AI agents require careful security controls.

Security researcher Jamieson O’Reilly says hundreds of Clawdbot control servers have been exposed online in recent days, allowing attackers to access credentials, chat histories, and command execution tools.

O’Reilly said he was able to locate the exposed instances within seconds using internet scanning tools by searching for the phrase “Clawdbot Control.” In some cases, attackers could send messages as users or execute commands remotely due to an authentication bypass tied to misconfigured reverse proxies.
