The Benchmark for Influence in Australia’s Digital Asset Sector

Fifty people across digital assets, banking, payments, market infrastructure, investment, regulation and public policy. Some build new rails. Some control access to existing ones. We do not rank influence, we map it.

The Methodology

The [DA] Top 50 maps where influence actually sits in Australia’s digital asset sector. It is not a vote and not an award.
