π¨π§ HardBlock, the Travel Rule, and Self-Custody: Whatβs Changing π
From 1 July 2026, HardBlock will be required to comply with AUSTRACβs Travel Rule obligations.
Rather than build around withdrawals from one custodial platform to another, weβre choosing the more Bitcoin-aligned path.

As always: Not your keys, not your coins.
