Australia's First Regulated Stablecoin - Now Available Online
AUDM now available directly via macropod.com
6 January 2026, Sydney, Australia: Macropod today announced that AUDM, Australia's first Australian-dollar stablecoin issued under a Financial Services Licence, is now available directly via macropod.com, making it easier for individuals, businesses, and institutions to access compliant, on-chain Australian dollar settlement.
Through macropod.com clients of the Macropod Platform can now:
- Mint and redeem AUDM directly, online
- In most cases, complete onboarding in minutes
- Start using AUDM for compliant digital payments and on-chain settlement
AUDM is issued by Macropod under Australia's first AFSL expressly granted for stablecoin issuance, and is fully backed, redeemable, and built for use cases across payments, treasury, and tokenised markets.
Drew Bradford, CEO of Macropod, said the launch marks an important step in making stablecoins practical and accessible.
"We built AUDM to jump fences, not get tangled in red tape. This is about putting a reliable on-chain Australian dollar into real-world use. Offering it directly via macropod.com means less friction, instant settlement, and full compliance."
Delia Burrage, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel, said the focus has been on accessibility without compromising governance or compliance.
"AUDM has been designed from day one to meet regulatory expectations. Direct access via our platform means users can onboard quickly while maintaining the controls, transparency, and safeguards that institutions expect."
Robert Waugh, Chief Technology Officer, said the release reflects Macropod's infrastructure-first approach.
"This launch brings together secure onboarding, solid smart-contract design, and enterprise-grade systems. Built on infrastructure that's as strong as it is agile, AUDM is here to cover ground."
AUDM is already being used in live pilots and production environments, supporting tokenised assets, payments, and on-chain settlement across multiple networks.
To access AUDM, visit macropod.com, register, and get started. Acceptance as a client of the Macropod Platform is subject to the onboarding criteria set out in the Combined Legal Agreement.
