The Reserve Bank of Australia has no official position on bitcoin.
Yet, the RBA has numerous papers that involve and reference it, and its representatives publicly speaks to its characteristics.
This has to change.

ABIB has submitted its response to Treasury's proposed crypto-asset tax reporting laws.
Our concern is not just whether the data can be secured.
It's whether collection at this scale, detail and frequency is necessary and proportionate.
ABIB recommends removing Part 2 (DCRR) for separate legislative assessment and consultation.
Each proposed data field, reporting frequency and disclosure pathway must be justified—with privacy, cyber and physical-safety risks taken seriously.
After ~21 months since the previous consultation closed, industry had just 13 days to examine a materially different draft.
That is not meaningful scrutiny.
Submissions close today, 28 October:
