Availability for Australian residents
As of 26 June 2026, Nexo is available to residents of Australia. Australia is among the regions where Nexo users have access to its current feature set, alongside the European Union, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and others. Onboarding is through the Nexo app or website with identity verification.
In Australia, providers that buy, sell, or exchange digital currency for money must register with AUSTRAC, the financial intelligence and anti money laundering regulator, and meet its reporting obligations. Nexo provides services to Australian residents as a registered digital currency exchange provider. Separately, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) regulates financial products and licensing where relevant.
Australian crypto regulation continues to develop, including proposals to bring some digital asset platforms within the financial services licensing regime overseen by ASIC. Because availability and product rules can change, treat this page as a dated snapshot and confirm the position directly with Nexo and the AUSTRAC register.
Access, KYC, and products
Nexo is a custodial platform, which means it holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. Australian users complete identity verification, known as know your customer, before accessing the full feature set, and can fund accounts by bank transfer, card, or crypto transfer.
Nexo positions itself as a wealth platform rather than a pure exchange, with earning on stablecoins and other assets, crypto backed credit lines, and trading. The Nexo Card is offered to eligible regions such as the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom and may not be available in Australia, so confirm what is offered to you on the platform itself.
How crypto is taxed in Australia
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) treats crypto as a capital gains tax asset for most investors, so disposing of crypto, including swapping one asset for another, can trigger a capital gain or loss. Some activity, such as rewards from staking or running a business, can be taxed as income instead.
Rules, discounts, and thresholds change and depend on personal circumstances, so confirm the current treatment with the ATO or a qualified adviser. See the Australia crypto tax page for a fuller explanation. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 26 June 2026).
Several platforms serve residents of Australia and register with AUSTRAC as digital currency exchange providers. Availability and products vary, so compare the exchanges that are genuinely available in Australia before you choose.
Every availability status here is dated and checked against the named regulator's public register. We never place a link to a platform where it is not available.
