The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) launched a consultation on how RITS and other central-bank information and funds transfer systems could support payment and settlement in a tokenised ecosystem. The process seeks views on services for tokenised asset markets and private digital currencies while maintaining safety, efficiency and financial stability, and remains open until 30 October 2026. Through Project Acacia, the RBA had previously studied tokenised-asset settlement using stablecoins, bank-issued deposit tokens and pilot central bank digital currencies. Separately, the RBA and Treasury said Australia’s retail payments system is meeting household and business needs and found no clear public-interest case for a retail CBDC.
