The Reserve Bank of Australia said on March 3 that it has selected 14 digital currency proposed use cases from a large number of submissions obtained from industry participants. An assistant governor at the RBA, Brad Jones, said the Aussie central bank is encouraged by the composition of providers that have been \u201cinvited to participate in the live pilot.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Collaboration Between Industry Participants and the Central Bank<\/h2>\n

The Australia central bank, which has been exploring the benefits of central bank digital currency (CBDC), recently announced the digital currency\u2019s proposed use cases as well as the names of providers \u201cinvited to participate in the live pilot.\u201d In a press statement<\/a>, the bank, which is known as the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), said the chosen use cases were selected from a large number of submissions from industry participants.<\/p>\n

Brad Jones, an assistant governor at the RBA, is quoted in the statement lauding the industry participants\u2019 willingness to engage regulators. Jones said:<\/p>\n

\n

We are delighted with the enthusiastic engagement by industry in this important research project. It has also been encouraging that the use case providers that have been invited to participate in the pilot span a wide range of entities in the Australian financial system, from smaller fintechs to large financial institutions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Jones, the pilot as well as the more comprehensive study will be conducted in parallel to \u201cserve two ends.\u201d The first of these ends is helping the industry gain some \u201chands-on learning\u201d experience. Bolstering policymakers\u2019 understanding of \u201chow a CBDC could potentially benefit the Australian financial system and economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

CBDC Design Considerations<\/h2>\n

For his part, Dilip Rao, a CBDC program director with the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre (DFCRC), said the process of \u201cvalidating use cases\u201d with industry participants and regulators is important because it will likely \u201cinform further research into design considerations for a CBDC that could potentially play a role in a tokenised economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some of the use cases chosen by the RBA include offline payments, corporate bond payments, and funds custody. As shown by the statement, the RBA has chosen around 14 use cases and more than eight chosen providers.<\/p>\n
