Our Work
We convene the institutions, regulators and operators shaping digital asset policy across the Asia-Pacific and beyond.
Policy
We bring regulators, policymakers and industry to the same table, engaging across Australia, Asia, the United States, UAE, UK and Europe. Our programs have directly informed Treasury consultation processes, AUSTRAC engagement frameworks and cross-border regulatory dialogue on stablecoins, tokenisation and digital asset custody.
Advisory
We advise digital asset businesses, financial institutions and government bodies on market entry, regulatory strategy, operational design and stakeholder positioning. Our advisory work shapes how organisations engage with the sector before, during and after regulatory reform.
Activations
We design and produce high-trust convenings that put the right people in the room, delivering over 115 activations with 11,000 registrations. From closed-door roundtables hosted by tier-one law firms and banks to multi-day programs with hundreds of hand-picked participants, each activation is built with a clear objective.
International
We operate across jurisdictions, connecting Australian stakeholders with global counterparts. Our international network spans London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi and Washington DC, facilitating introductions to licensed entities, sovereign allocators and cross-border regulatory bodies.
