🚨🟧 HardBlock, the Travel Rule, and Self-Custody: What’s Changing πŸ‘€

From 1 July 2026, HardBlock will be required to comply with AUSTRAC’s Travel Rule obligations.

Rather than build around withdrawals from one custodial platform to another, we’re choosing the more Bitcoin-aligned path.

HardBlock will no longer support withdrawals directly to custodial wallets. Withdrawals to self-custodial wallets will continue with minimal changes.

Why? Because Bitcoin is most powerful when you control the keys.

HardBlock exists to help Australians save in Bitcoin for the long term - not just hold an account balance.

As always: Not your keys, not your coins.

When you buy Bitcoin, one of the first questions is: where should I keep it?

That may sound technical, but custody is really about trust, responsibility, and control.

As Australian Bitcoin businesses adapt to new compliance requirements, including Travel Rule obligations from 1 July 2026, customers may notice more questions being asked when withdrawing Bitcoin. That makes one thing even clearer:

Everyone who owns Bitcoin should learn the basics of self-custody.

Back home in Adelaide after an epic weekend spent soundly amongst many brilliant Bitcoiners for the inaugural Byron Bay Bash @bitcoinbushbash ... And judging by the popularity of our Easy Bitcoin (learn the basics of Bitcoin in 10 minutes or less) books, there were a lot of curious newbies in attendance. Excellent! πŸŸ§πŸŽ‰

How do you make sure your Bitcoin is still accessible - no matter what?

Bitcoin gave people control over their wealth. But control without recovery can become fragility.

GuardBlock exists because self-custody should survive real life: mistakes, lost keys, changing circumstances, and time.

It’s a non-custodial Bitcoin vault that combines collaborative multisig with time-locked recovery.

So your Bitcoin doesn’t just stay secure today.
It remains accessible tomorrow.
