Australia's anti-money laundering watchdog, AUSTRAC, has suspended Cryptolink's operation of Bitcoin ATMs for three months due to ongoing concerns about its compliance with anti-money laundering obligations.

Cryptolink, which operates 96 Bitcoin ATMs across major cities in Australia including Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, failed to meet basic reporting requirements, particularly threshold transaction reports, and did not respond to AUSTRAC's request for information.

AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas stated that the company's Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration has been suspended for three months starting Sunday, effectively halting its crypto ATMs' operations during this time.
