Hosts & Topics

Roundtables and Workshops

Wednesday, 11th March 2026 | Sydney, CBD

Roundtable Day brought together a wide range of topics, stakeholders and market verticals to examine how digital assets and tokenised markets are reshaping financial activity in practice.

The discussions cut across tokenisation of real world assets, settlement and payments design, custody and market infrastructure, licensing and governance, stablecoins, financial crime and cross-border activity, reflecting the breadth of issues now converging on institutions operating in this space.

The day was designed to connect perspectives from banking, superannuation, payments, technology, compliance, legal and market operators, recognising that no single function or sector can address these challenges in isolation.

The emphasis was on candid, senior-level exchange that surfaced how different parts of the ecosystem are responding, where tensions and dependencies are emerging and how Australia can build coherent, resilient capability across a rapidly evolving digital asset landscape.
