AUDM Lands on BTC Markets Australia’s First Regulated Stablecoin Becomes Even More Accessible

17 March 2026, Sydney, Australia: Macropod today announced that AUDM, Australia’s first Australian dollar stablecoin issued under an AFSL, is now live on BTC Markets.

The listing marks an important step in expanding access to a licensed, on-chain representation of Australian dollars, enabling individuals, businesses, and institutions to trade, settle, and move value with confidence. By making AUDM available on one of Australia's leading digital asset exchanges, Macropod is lowering barriers to entry while maintaining the regulatory standards required for real-world financial use.

Through BTC Markets, clients can now:

  • Buy and sell AUDM directly on a trusted Australian exchange
  • Use AUDM for payments, treasury management, and on-chain settlement
  • Participate in tokenised markets using a fully backed, redeemable stablecoin

Drew Bradford, CEO of Macropod, said: “The gap between traditional finance and on-chain value just became a little smaller. Bringing AUDM to BTC Markets gives clients a regulated, reserve-backed way to move between Australian dollars and digital assets - fully backed 1:1 by reserves - on one of Australia's most established trading platforms. It’s another hop toward a truly connected financial system.”

Lucas Dobbins, CEO of BTC Markets, said:
“BTC Markets has always been focused on giving clients the infrastructure they need to participate in the digital asset market. AUDM is a natural fit. It's regulated, redeemable, and built for real use. Listing it means our clients can now move seamlessly between fiat and on-chain markets without stepping outside the Australian regulatory framework they trust.”

AUDM is already being used in live pilots and production environments, supporting tokenised assets, payments, and on-chain settlement across multiple networks.

Availability of AUDM may be subject to exchange terms and client eligibility requirements.
