Australia's Reserve Bank is advancing its digital currency journey with Project Acacia, a collaboration exploring digital money's impact on wholesale tokenised asset markets.
Project Acacia, led by the RBA and DFCRC, will trial stablecoins, digital bank deposits, and CBDCs to enhance finance efficiency.
The trials, involving 24 use cases with real money and asset transactions, will run on various blockchain platforms and seek regulatory support from ASIC.
Major Australian banks like CBA, ANZ, and Westpac are partaking in Project Acacia to test digital assets' efficacy in the $350 billion repo market.
