Regulated, not adjacent to regulation
AUDC holds AFSL 700123 from ASIC and has been registered with AUSTRAC since 2021. AUDD is Australia's leading regulated stablecoin issuer.
ABOUT US
A regulated stablecoin issuer, built to last.
AUDD is issued by AUDC, an Australian company that holds the Australian Financial Services Licence to issue the AUD as a stablecoin. We started in 2022 with a simple position: a digital Australian dollar should answer to the same regulators as an Australian bank, hold the same quality of reserves, and redeem at par on demand. More than $2 billion in on-chain volume later, that position has not moved.

What we are building
AUDD is the Australian dollar in programmable form, issued by a licensed entity and surrounded by the infrastructure to move it: payments, minting and a full API. One counterparty issues it, settles it and redeems it. That is the whole design, and the reason a CFO can take it to a board.
Backed by quality reserves
Reserves are held as high-quality liquid assets under BIS standards, in cash on trust for AUDD holders, never re-hypothecated. Independently attested by William Buck since August 2024.
Built across eight chains
Native multi-chain: Ethereum, Stellar, XRP Ledger, Solana, Hedera, XDC, Base and Redbelly, each with public explorer links.
