According to him, the power in blockchain could become a useful technology when it comes to reducing the complications for financial regulatory compliance and transparency. Speaking at an online panel of the future of financial services 2020 conference, the senator said that the “future is technology by blockchain.”

He further said that instant cross-border transactions through blockchain technology could be the solution to one-touch government with “international transactions in real-time“.

When it comes to regulation and fraud, he believes that a blockchain has the power to significantly help with these issues and he also mentioned problems associated with time zones. He further went on to say:

“It will eliminate our time zone problem, which has been a problem for Australia over the long run [...] Blockchain technology can streamline regulatory processes, reduce fraud, and reduce costs to regulatory compliance and administration.”

During the conference, Bragg also highlighted the importance of expanding Australia's global competitiveness in the financial sector, particularly with regard to Singapore.
