The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) now aims to evaluate how these technologies could modernize institutional markets.<\/p>\n

Major banks join live asset tokenization experiments<\/h2>\n

Under the latest stage, Project Acacia will examine 24 separate use cases across the financial system. Australia\u2019s largest banks\u2014Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, and Westpac\u2014are actively participating. Fintech firms and blockchain innovators have also joined to test settlement systems that blend CBDCs, stablecoins, and tokenized deposits.<\/p>\n

The trials<\/a><\/strong> target applications across repo trading, tokenized credit, carbon markets, and government bonds. Each test will help identify whether digital assets can improve liquidity, speed, and transparency in financial markets.<\/p>\n

The RBA partnered with the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre (DFCRC) to lead the effort. Regulators, including ASIC, are providing exemptions to allow sandbox-style testing within the legal system.<\/p>\n

RBA says tokenized money may boost efficiency<\/h2>\n
