Blockchain Australia Gets a Makeover – Meet the Digital Economy Council of Australia
Blockchain Australia is rebranding to the Digital Economy Council of Australia to include a banking category as well as inclusion for digital ID companies, AI, charity groups, and more. “Blockchain and digital assets still remain at the core of what the organization is promoting and advocating for,” states a representative from the digital economy group.
The rebrand comes under the leadership of new CEO Amy-Rose Goodey who recently stepped up to head the group. Rose-Goodey highlighted the need for clear regulation after multiple Australian banks blocked crypto exchanges from their services, stating that a proper regulatory framework will bring confidence to the market.
