The Reserve Bank of Australia has launched Project Acacia in partnership with ASIC to test stablecoins, deposit tokens, and a CBDC in real wholesale markets.
The pilot involves 24 trials with major banks like Commonwealth, ANZ, and Westpac to explore if tokenisation can reduce costs and intermediaries.
Tokenisation is gaining momentum, with on-chain RWAs exceeding $25 billion, enabling fractional ownership in markets like real estate and private equity.
RedBelly Network, an Australian blockchain project, is assisting in Project Acacia to support on-chain tokenisation, showcasing the nation's crypto industry evolution.
