Capital

ASIC has made changes to the capital requirements for market participants. We have created a common set of capital market integrity rules for securities and futures market participants.

From 17 June 2022, participants of the ASX, Chi-X, NSXA, SSX, ASX 24 and FEX markets must comply with the ASIC Market Integrity Rules (Capital) 2021.

Until then, securities market participants must comply with the ASIC Market Integrity Rules (Securities Markets – Capital) 2017, and futures market participants must comply with the ASIC Market Integrity Rules (Futures Markets – Capital) 2017.

Exemptions to requirements contained within the Capital Rules apply to clearing participants of an approved clearing facility, authorised deposit taking institutions and principal traders only.

Participants may choose to opt-in to the ASIC Market Integrity Rules (Capital) 2021 before 17 June 2022 by notifying ASIC. Once a participant opts in, they must lodge returns through the ASIC Regulatory Portal.
