From Australia to the World! AUDM Now Live on Leading Global Exchange OKX

22 April 2026, Sydney, Australia: Macropod today announced that AUDM, Australia’s first Australian-dollar stablecoin issued under an AFSL, is now listed on OKX Australia, a leading fintech company and digital asset platform.

The announcement expands Macropod's presence across major trading venues, making it easier than ever for individuals, businesses, and institutions to access AUDM and trade, settle, and move value with confidence.

AUDM, which is issued by an Australian Financial Services Licensee, is instantly accessible and built for speed, bringing the transparency and reliability that the next generation of digital finance demands.

AUDM is set to become a trusted bridge between Australian dollars and international token markets, powering real-time payments, cross-border settlements, and a smarter, faster future for finance.

‍

With AUDM on OKX Australia, users can:

● Trade AUDM instantly on a trusted platform

● Access a regulated Australian dollar stablecoin without complicated onboarding

● Use AUDM for payments, treasury management, and on-chain settlement, where available

● Explore tokenised markets using a redeemable AUD stablecoin

‍

Drew Bradford, CEO of Macropod, said:

“Adding AUDM to OKX Australia is about giving Australians the ability to move between fiat and stablecoins in seconds, with confidence in the licensing and reserves behind every token. We are giving people the confidence that value moves where and when it should. That’s the Macropod shift: from waiting and wondering to seeing and knowing. This is digital finance that actually works.”

Kate Cooper, CEO of OKX Australia, said:

“Bringing AUDM to OKX Australia delivers our clients access to a regulated stablecoin they can rely on for trading, payments, and on-chain innovation. The DFCRC and DECA research released on 3 March 2026; Unlocking Australia's $24b Digital Finance Opportunity identified cross-border payments and foreign exchange as the single largest opportunity in Australia's digital finance transition – up to $7.2 billion per year.

AUDM is precisely the kind of regulated, production-ready infrastructure that can start capturing that opportunity today. Our users now have access to a regulated stablecoin they can rely on for institutional trading, payments, and on-chain settlement to move value across borders with speed, security, and confidence. This is digital finance moving from potential to reality - the kind of real-world utility that sets the standard for next-generation digital finance.”

Drew Bradford, Robert Waugh (CTO of Macropod) and Kate Cooper previously were colleagues at National Australia Bank in 2023 and helped develop its AUD-backed stablecoin initiative (AUDN), which delivered the first cross-border stablecoin transaction by a major financial institution on a public layer-1 blockchain. The pilot demonstrated settlement moving from days to minutes, using smart contracts across major global currencies including USD, EUR, AUD and GBP.

AUDM is already being used in live production environments, supporting tokenised assets, payments, and on-chain settlement across multiple networks. AUDM is a financial product. Before acquiring AUDM, you should read the Product Disclosure Statement. Availability of AUDM may be subject to exchange terms and client eligibility requirements.
