AUDM Hops Onto Solana Australia's First Regulated Stablecoin Just Became a Whole Lot Faster
10 March 2026, Sydney, Australia: Macropod today announced that AUDM is live on Solana, bringing near-instant settlement, ultra-low transaction costs, and a new access for developers and institutions ready to build with compliant Aussie dollars.
Solana was built for speed. AUDM was built for trust. Together, they're redefining what regulated digital money can do. This expansion brings AUDM into one of the world's most high-performance blockchain ecosystems, supporting tokenised payments, DeFi applications, and smart contract integrations, all backed by the regulatory certainty of Macropod's Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL 566313).
What this means:
- Tokenised Payments — Instantly settle Australian-dollar payments at scale, free from the friction of traditional financial rails.
- DeFi Integration — Connect AUDM to Solana's thriving DeFi ecosystem, enabling compliant yield, lending, and liquidity applications.
- Smart Contract Ready — Developers can integrate AUDM directly into smart contracts, unlocking programmable Australian-dollar money at scale.
- Lower Costs & Faster Transactions — Leverage Solana's high-throughput architecture for near-instant, low-fee transfers.
- Expanded Accessibility — Institutions, fintechs, and developers can access AUDM across a growing range of platforms and applications.
- Interoperability — Use AUDM alongside other Solana-based assets, supporting cross-chain liquidity, tokenised assets, and innovative financial products.
- Regulatory Confidence — Full AFSL compliance means users can transact with a regulated Australian-dollar stablecoin, with complete peace of mind.
Drew Bradford, CEO of Macropod, said: "Speed matters in digital finance but trust matters even more. AUDM on Solana delivers both. Developers and institutions can now move and program Australian dollars on-chain with the speed and scale modern financial applications demand.”
Lu Yin, Head of APAC, Solana Foundation, said: “The launch of AUDM on Solana brings a regulated Australian-dollar stablecoin to the most widely used blockchain network. This expands the range of compliant assets available to developers and institutions building payments, DeFi, and other financial applications on Solana.”
Macropod continues to bridge traditional financial markets and emerging digital asset infrastructure, supporting Australia's broader transition to tokenised finance and payments.
