Tokenisation is moving from experimentation to industrial advantage - but only for organisations that can translate pilots into real workflows and profitable business models, compliant  structures & interoperable cross-border trade corridors. From critical minerals & energy to carbon credits, inventory, invoices & high-value goods like art, tokenized assets can reduce friction, accelerate settlement, improve provenance & unlock new financing models. 
 
This roundtable focuses on execution: where tokenization truly beats current systems, how to start with the right use cases, how to design compliant structures & how to build pilots that scale across borders. Western Australia’s position in critical minerals, resources, agriculture, First Nations art & energy makes it a natural launchpad for Indo-Pacific tokenized trade corridors.

Money is critical infrastructure & most people only notice it when it fails. This session explains how trust in digital payments & settlements can be strengthened as cyber threats rise, economies digitize, and quantum moves from theory to threat. You’ll leave with practical trust upgrades that matter most for the decade ahead - access to resilient, secure money & payments in the age of disruption.

Wholesale digital money is moving from experimentation to infrastructure. Across the Indo-Pacific & Europe, central banks, regulators & financial institutions are testing tokenised settlement models to improve cross-border payments, liquidity efficiency & risk management through initiatives such as Project Acacia (Australia), Project Guardian and BLOOM (Singapore).

This closed-door session convenes senior leaders from policy, banking, market infrastructure, and technology providers to compare takeaways from leading pilots and align on what it will take to move from proofs-of-concept to interoperable, secure, scalable wholesale settlement rails across jurisdictions.  

The roundtable builds on GFTN’s recently launched Digital Money principles, emphasising interoperability, sovereignty, resilience, trust, and inclusion. Participants will also consider enabling foundations underpinning trusted digital markets.
