IBM, Optus and Australia Post have joined the Australian Digital Currency Commerce Association (ADCCA).
ADCCA counts among its members participants in the digital currency sector, particularly those involved in Bitcoin and technology inspired by Bitcoin’s distributed ledger system, the blockchain.
Other ADCCA members include professional services firms EY, PwC and Deloitte; law firms Norton Rose Fulbright, Gilbert + Tobin, Allens, Ashurst and DLA Piper; Dun & Bradstreet and Perpetual. The organisation also counts as member some 20 blockchain-focussed startups.
“Most blockchain use cases will require collaboration within industries and between industry and policy-makers to succeed,” ADCCA’s CEO and managing director, Nick Giurietto, told Computerworld .
“As part of our mission to promote the responsible adoption of blockchain technology in Australia, ADCCA is building our network of blockchain innovators — whether start-ups, incumbents or service providers — to work together to help shape the policy direction that will allow their ventures to succeed.
