Australia's financial regulator AUSTRAC will require cryptocurrency exchanges to share sender and recipient information on all transfers between custodial platforms from 1 July 2026, bringing crypto transactions under the same surveillance framework as traditional banking. This move toward total financial transparency and identity-linked transactions mirrors the prophesied global system of economic control described in end-times Scripture, where no one can buy or sell without being tracked and identified. Revelation 13:17 warns of a coming system where financial transactions are monitored and gatekept — regulations like this lay the infrastructural and legal groundwork for exactly such a system.
