Location & Timings:

PARLIAMENT HOUSE

Part TWO

Following the roundtables, the culmination of insights, recommendations, and extensive reviewing will shape the ‘2025 Proactive Digital Asset Policy Paper’. This carefully refined document represents the collective expertise and priorities of industry leaders.

Once finalised, the Policy Paper will be launched at the Parliamentary Friends of Blockchain (PFOB) event in Canberra. This pivotal moment will showcase the comprehensive vision for advancing Australia’s digital asset sector and provide policymakers with actionable guidance to support industry growth and innovation.

The Digital Economy Council of Australia Policy Forum offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of digital asset regulation. Engage directly with policymakers and contribute to vital policy discussions in focused groups, driving forward the industry’s regulatory framework.

Four specialised focus groups will come together to collaboratively craft targeted elements of a proactive policy submission, directly addressing crucial regulatory considerations from an industry perspective.  The tentative focus groups may include (though subject to change):

• Taxation
• Tokenisation
• Trade Digitalisation
• Banking

Participants are invited to actively engage in open discussions, sharing ideas with industry peers, stakeholders, and policymakers, thus promoting a cooperative environment for policy development. The day’s agenda is strategically structured to result in the advancement of Australian digital asset regulation, empowering attendees to significantly influence industry standards and regulatory frameworks in advance of further consultations.

The sessions will be recorded, transcribed and thoughtfully compiled into a proactive policy submission.

Digital Economy Council of Australia welcomes those who wish to actively participate in the focus groups as well as those who wish to be observers.
