Crypto policies divide political parties—what’s at stake in 2025?
As Australia approaches the 2025 federal election, digital assets remain a significant point of contention. Political parties differ on taxation, licensing, and consumer protections, with policies that could either foster or stifle blockchain innovation. The election result may shape investment confidence and determine whether Australia becomes a leader or a laggard in the digital finance revolution. With global regulatory models to learn from, the next government’s stance on crypto will be crucial for the industry’s future.
Caroline Bowler, CEO of BTC Markets is joined by Amy-Rose Goodey, CEO of Digital Economy Council of Australia (DECA) to discuss.
Amy-Rose Goodey is a prominent advocate for blockchain and digital assets, leading DECA’s efforts to push for clearer regulations, stronger industry engagement, and public awareness of the benefits of crypto adoption. Her latest initiative, the “Who Supports Crypto” campaign, highlights the widespread public and industry backing for digital assets while urging policymakers to recognise crypto’s economic potential. With a background spanning tech innovation, policy advocacy, and stakeholder engagement, Amy-Rose plays a key role in advancing Australia’s digital economy and blockchain future.
