View ChartMacropod (AUDM) is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the Australian dollar, issued by Macropod, a Sydney-based digital asset infrastructure provider. Each AUDM token is backed by one Australian dollar held in segregated trust accounts at a major Australian bank, with no algorithmic mechanisms and no partial reserves. The token launched as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain and is structured to support multiple blockchains and smart contracts. Macropod describes AUDM as Australia's first Australian-dollar stablecoin issued under an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). The project launched in October 2025 and is positioned as a redeemable token for users seeking an Australian-dollar instrument on blockchain networks. Total supply stands at approximately 3.4 million AUDM, with a market capitalisation of roughly $2.74 million.
Macropod was founded through a joint venture between MHC Digital Group, a firm specialising in digital asset infrastructure, and Catena Digital, established by former National Australia Bank (NAB) executives. The leadership team combines expertise in banking compliance, financial services, and digital asset technology. Drew Bradford serves as Chief Executive Officer of Macropod and Catena Digital. Rob Waugh serves as Chief Technology Officer. The founding team is described as having over 100 years of combined experience in global financial services. Burrage is listed as Founder on the Macropod LinkedIn company page. Macropod was founded in 2024 and is headquartered in Sydney, Australia.
AUDM operates as a fully reserved stablecoin. Each token is backed by one Australian dollar held in segregated trust accounts at a major Australian bank. Users can mint (buy) AUDM from Macropod and redeem AUDM back to Australian dollars at a 1:1 ratio. Macropod publishes total supply and reserve balances with a publicly available record, and monthly attestations by independent auditors verify reserve backing. Issuance and treasury operations are secured through Fireblocks. The token is built on audited OpenZeppelin standards and is structured to support multiple blockchains and smart contracts, making it suitable for payments, tokenised assets, and decentralised finance applications. Macropod benefits from ASIC's class order relief, allowing licensed intermediaries to distribute AUDM without additional regulatory hurdles.
Macropod positions AUDM as Australia's first Australian-dollar stablecoin issued under an Australian Financial Services Licence. The project received the first stablecoin licence approved by ASIC, and AUDM is the first coin named under ASIC's stablecoin distribution exemption (Corporations Instrument 2025/631), which runs until June 2028. This exemption allows intermediaries such as brokers and exchanges to distribute stablecoins from licensed issuers without obtaining additional market or clearing licences. The token is fully backed with Australian dollars, with no algorithms and no partial reserves. Macropod is registered with AUSTRAC as a digital currency exchange. The project has attracted strategic investment from Betashares, Galaxy Digital, Flowdesk, DACM, and Primal Capital, and is backed by Mark Carnegie's crypto firm. AUDM addresses a gap in the Australian market for a credible, regulated option denominated in local currency, with potential to streamline cross-border payments, reduce FX costs, and provide a settlement layer for tokenised markets.
AUDM is designed for a range of applications including FX and cross-border settlement, real-world asset tokenisation, treasury and payments infrastructure, AUD-based DeFi and smart contract automation, government and institutional disbursements, payments and transfers, tokenised assets and on-chain settlement across multiple networks, and treasury management and settlement. The platform aims to integrate AUDM with wallets, exchanges, and payment systems to foster adoption in Australia's digital economy and beyond. Macropod describes AUDM as a redeemable token for users seeking an Australian-dollar instrument on blockchain networks.
