You're right, yes. I was attempting to point out that with a DEX there is no way to enforce record keeping or KYC, and so if someone is determined to avoid tax, then DEXs won't / can't report back to a tax authority.

Australian exchanges, as far as I've gathered, proactively send transaction details to the tax office, or are compelled to do so upon tax office request.

When it comes to public wallet addresses, it becomes up to the individual to voluntarily declare their ownership - such is my understanding.

I will defer to your knowledge and / or expertise if you disagree with my understanding, you need to know this stuff inside out - congrats on founding, and here's to a big future for crypto, you're well placed.
