About Digital Currency Exchange Register

Free Digital Currency Exchange search and DCE lookup — find an AUSTRAC-registered crypto exchange (VASP) in Australia by provider name, DCE registration number, ABN or ACN.

Use this Digital Currency Exchange register search to find an AUSTRAC-registered DCE provider (also known as a Virtual Asset Service Provider, or VASP) in Australia. Look up a crypto exchange by name, DCE registration number, ABN or ACN and inspect the public AUSTRAC DCE registration record.

Records in this Digital Currency Exchange register are sourced from the public AUSTRAC DCE dataset and refreshed monthly. For high-stakes verification, also confirm directly via the official AUSTRAC register.

What is a Digital Currency Exchange (DCE) registration?

A Digital Currency Exchange (DCE) registration is an AUSTRAC registration required for any business that exchanges digital currency (cryptocurrency) for money, or money for digital currency, in Australia. The DCE register sits under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006. DCE providers are commonly referred to internationally as virtual asset service providers (VASPs).

A DCE registration with AUSTRAC is a regulatory registration — not a financial product licence. It records the crypto exchange on the AUSTRAC DCE register and subjects the operator to AML/CTF obligations including customer identification, transaction monitoring and suspicious matter reporting.

What a DCE registration covers

A Digital Currency Exchange registration covers the activity of exchanging digital currency for money (or money for digital currency) as a business in Australia. It does not by itself authorise financial product services such as advice, dealing in derivatives or operating a managed investment scheme — those require an AFSL on top of the DCE registration.

Who needs to register as a DCE

Any business operating a digital currency exchange — including centralised crypto exchanges, OTC desks providing crypto/fiat conversion and certain crypto brokers — generally needs an AUSTRAC DCE registration. Failing to register before providing DCE services is an offence under Australian AML/CTF law.

DCE registration vs an AFSL

A DCE registration with AUSTRAC and an AFSL with ASIC are separate. The DCE register covers AML/CTF obligations for crypto exchange activity. An AFSL covers financial products under the Corporations Act. A crypto business offering, for example, crypto derivatives may need both a DCE registration and an AFSL.

How to use this Digital Currency Exchange register search

Every row in the DCE register below is a clickable Digital Currency Exchange record. You can refine the DCE register search, paginate through results, or open a provider detail page to inspect the full AUSTRAC DCE registration record.

Search by crypto exchange or DCE provider name

Type the business name of the Digital Currency Exchange into the search box to run a DCE lookup across the AUSTRAC DCE register. The same search box also covers AFSL, credit and remittance records — useful when a crypto exchange holds more than one Australian registration or licence.

Search by DCE registration number, ABN or ACN

If you already have a Digital Currency Exchange's registration number, ABN or ACN, the search box accepts all three identifiers and resolves to the matching DCE registration on the AUSTRAC register.

About the Digital Currency Exchange register data

Source and refresh of the DCE register

DCE data is normalised from the public AUSTRAC Digital Currency Exchange register. Registration status mirrors what AUSTRAC publishes — we do not edit or override regulator decisions on any DCE registration.

Officially verifying a DCE registration

For high-stakes confirmation of a Digital Currency Exchange registration — onboarding a crypto counterparty, due diligence on a VASP — always verify on the official AUSTRAC website. AFSL Search is an independent DCE register lookup, not the official AUSTRAC register.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if a crypto exchange is registered in Australia?

Type the exchange name or DCE registration number into the search box, open the matching record, and confirm the Digital Currency Exchange appears on the AUSTRAC DCE register. Each DCE record shows the provider name, registration number and current registration status.

What is the AUSTRAC Digital Currency Exchange register?

The AUSTRAC Digital Currency Exchange register is the public list of crypto exchanges (DCE providers / VASPs) that have registered with AUSTRAC under Australia's AML/CTF regime. Operating a DCE in Australia without registering on the DCE register is an offence.

Is a DCE registration the same as an AFSL?

No. A DCE registration is an AUSTRAC AML/CTF registration for crypto exchange activity. An AFSL is an ASIC financial services licence. Depending on the products offered, a crypto business may need a DCE registration, an AFSL, both, or other authorisations.

Does a VASP need to register on the AUSTRAC DCE register?

Yes — in the Australian context, virtual asset service providers (VASPs) that exchange digital currency for money or vice versa must register on the AUSTRAC DCE register before offering DCE services. The DCE register is Australia's implementation of VASP registration.

How often is the AUSTRAC DCE register updated here?

The Digital Currency Exchange register on this site is refreshed monthly from the public AUSTRAC dataset. For near real-time alerts on changes to a DCE registration, subscribe to free monitoring.

Where can I officially verify a Digital Currency Exchange registration?

The official source is the AUSTRAC public DCE register. AFSL Search mirrors that data for convenience and faster DCE lookup, but is not the official regulator.
