CEOs Corner: Bitcoin is back - but Australia is lagging

AFR Opinion piece by BTC Markets' CEO, Caroline Bowler

Source: AFR

Leading the conversation on crypto’s future.

Our CEO, Caroline Bowler, has addressed a pressing concern in an opinion piece published by The Australian Financial Review: Australia’s need to embrace cryptocurrency innovation to avoid being left behind.

Caroline highlights how cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology have shifted from niche concepts to central players in global finance. She also addresses recent comments by Reserve Bank of Australia governor Michele Bullock, which reflect a conservative stance on the transformative potential of digital assets.

As other nations explore strategic reserves, embrace cryptocurrencies as a store of value, and push forward with blockchain-based solutions, Australia must seize this moment to foster innovation. With 27% of Australians showing interest in cryptocurrency, it’s clear this evolution is already underway.

Read Caroline's op-ed on the AFR website to learn more about why policymakers must engage with this growing sector.
