Woah..
In a May 2026 report, the Reserve Bank of Australia utilized transactions deploying a wholesale CBDC directly onto the XRPL and Hedera through Project Acacia 😳

‼️JUST IN: AUSTRALIA’S RBA DEPLOYS WHOLESALE CBDC DIRECTLY ONTO XRPL AND HEDERA NETWORKS IN PROJECT ACACIA‼️
The Reserve Bank of Australia just ran real money on both the XRPL and Hedera.💸
This is a massive development.🙇♂️
Project Acacia is a hands-on research program run by Australia’s central bank (the RBA) and industry partners.
They issued small amounts of real pilot wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC) and used it to settle live trades of tokenised assets such as bonds and other financial instruments on multiple blockchain networks.💰
The goal was to test what actually works when digital central bank money sits alongside private money and tokenised assets in wholesale markets.🌐
In these tests, the XRP Ledger powered complete end-to-end permissioned bond lifecycles with J.P. Morgan custody, including redemption settled in RLUSD.✅
Hedera delivered both its public network and private HashSphere ledger for critical interchange services on tokenised private money.✅
Public ISO 20022-compliant blockchains just passed a central-bank test in Australia’s wholesale markets.🔥
XRP and HBAR are both entering the plumbing of Australia’s wholesale markets.☝️
Straight from the official May 2026 final report.😏💨
