Direct answer

Which crypto structured product should Australia residents use in November 2026?

SOFA.org (Earn and Surge) ranks highest in ChainChoice’s published structured products ranking among the providers that list Australia. The order is the published ranking itself; providers whose terms exclude Australia are removed. Check authorisation with ASIC before depositing.

Right fit for this list
  • Australia residents holding capital in AUD
  • Users who need ASIC-aligned compliance and audit-grade reporting
  • Buy-and-hold profiles benefiting from Australia's tax treatment
  • Sophisticated retail and family-office treasurers
Wrong fit — look elsewhere
  • Derivatives / perpetuals traders (use a regulated futures venue instead)
  • Privacy-focused users avoiding KYC (these are licensed venues)
  • Day-traders chasing the lowest spreads regardless of regulator posture
  • Anyone needing a service ASIC does not currently authorise

General guidance for Australia: the ranking engine does not compute these notes and they do not change the order below. If none fits you, answer the Find My Best questions for a result for your profile.
