Ripple and the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN) have launched a global training programme to help policymakers strengthen their understanding of stablecoins, tokenisation and cross-border payments.
The initiative, Decoding Digital Assets: Stablecoins and Digital Money, aims to build regulatory capacity and bridge the gap between blockchain innovation and public sector readiness.
Powered by Ripple, it will train more than 200 central bankers, regulators and policymakers from key Asia-Pacific markets including Australia, the Philippines, Thailand, Korea, Taiwan and Indonesia before expanding globally.
The six-week online course includes eight hours of content and fortnightly live sessions with industry experts.
It also features a Tabletop Simulation that lets participants test policy responses to systemic risks such as cross-jurisdictional issues and monetary policy challenges from foreign-issued stablecoins.
Case studies will draw from the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Project Guardian and other jurisdictions in Europe, Japan and the United Kingdom.
The curriculum covers the mechanics and systemic risks of stablecoins, interoperability in cross-border payments with a focus on custody models and technical infrastructure, and governance frameworks that include institutional approaches to managing emerging digital finance risks.
Sopnendu Mohanty, Group Chief Executive Officer of GFTN said,
“This partnership reflects GFTN’s commitment to empowering policymakers with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate the fast-evolving world of digital assets.
By launching Decoding Digital Assets with Ripple, we are helping regulators across Asia-Pacific and beyond to build the expertise required for sound policy, responsible innovation, and cross-border collaboration.”
Rahul Advani, Global Co-Head for Policy at Ripple said,
“The foundation of digital finance is regulatory clarity. Our partnership with GFTN invests directly in that clarity by equipping policymakers with practical knowledge of stablecoins, custody, and interoperability.
This ensures the next generation of regulation is both responsible and enabling, allowing the multi-trillion-dollar tokenised asset market to grow safely.”
