Stormrake, a Melbourne-based Bitcoin brokerage, reported about $8 million in blocked or delayed payments in early 2026 due to major Australian banks restricting access to Bitcoin businesses. Banks like Commonwealth Bank, Macquarie, and Westpac cite fraud and AML concerns, but this debanking is seen as a major barrier to Bitcoin adoption in Australia. Despite AUSTRAC's guidance against sector-wide debanking, many firms still face account closures. Bitcoin companies are adapting by focusing on compliance, self-custody products, or exploring overseas options to continue operating.
Stormrake's report on debanking challenges in Australia provides context for cryptocurrency market conditions.
