Rather than float on crypto markets, AUDN has been created for specific use cases, according to the AFR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afr.com\/companies\/financial-services\/nab-creates-a-stablecoin-in-boost-for-digital-economy-20230117-p5cd8f\">report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The NAB is aiming to launch AUDN for institutional clients by mid-year after internal testing, according to the AFR report. NAB is currently testing AUDN by transferring money between subsidiaries and branches \u2014 banking regulators are supervising the process.<\/p>\n<h2>Use cases<\/h2>\n<p>The AUDN coin will enable NAB users to settle transactions on the blockchain, focusing on carbon credits and reducing the cost of cross-border transactions.<\/p>\n<p>NAB chief innovation officer Howard Silby reportedly told the AFR that the bank's primary focus would be to use AUDN as a settlement token. With AUDN, NAB aims to move towards &#8220;atomic&#8221; or instantaneous settlements from the current two days.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe certainly believe there are elements of blockchain technology that will form part of the future of finance.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Silby also said that AUDN could be used in repurchase agreements \u2014 short-term loans in bond markets \u2014 and for &#8220;green deposits&#8221; that link customer savings to green loans.<\/p>\n<h2>Crypto adoption on the rise<\/h2>\n<p>NAB is not the first bank to launch its own stablecoin. Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) became the first bank to launch its stablecoin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afr.com\/companies\/financial-services\/anz-the-first-bank-to-mint-an-australian-dollar-stablecoin-the-a-dc-20220323-p5a743\">A$DC<\/a> last year. Individual Australian banks started developing their own stablecoins after an attempt by the four biggest banks to jointly create an industry-wide stablecoin fell apart in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>DigitalX, a digital asset firm listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, is planning to use AUDN, once launched, to prove its reserves, the AFR reported.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian government is considering regulating cryptocurrencies, but it is unclear if stablecoins will be part of the initial regulatory regime. In September 2022, a private member's draft bill suggested regulating stablecoin issuers and placing disclosure requirements on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Australia Bank (NAB) \u2014 one of the four largest banks in the country \u2014 is gearing up to launch a stablecoin on the Ethereum (ETH) network, the Australian Financial Review (AFR) reported.
