About this session
Tokenization is moving beyond experiments into economic infrastructure across trade, commodities, energy, carbon & finance - but only when it becomes institutional-grade in terms of custody, legal clarity, interoperability & governance. This session focuses on the leap from “interesting demo” to scalable market workflows that banks, industry & regulators can trust. Participants gain practical insight into how tokenized corridors can reduce friction, improve provenance, accelerate settlement & unlock new financing pathways.

About this session
Western Australia’s economy is highly export-driven. With exports over $240 Billion, it makes nearly half of the total Australian goods exports. Yet cross-border payments still carry potentially avoidable friction such as settlement delays, layered fees, FX spreads, manual exceptions & compliance overheads, costs that hit SMEs hardest & compound across large trade flows.
This session is a practical, industry-first discussion focused on one question:
How can WA reduce the costs & friction of cross-border export payments & safely adopt modern, regulated digital settlement tools where they deliver clear benefits while maintaining strong compliance, consumer protection, operational resilience & effective supervision? -
