the Australian stablecoin launched on Hedera

AUDD, the Australian stablecoin, was officially launched on the Hedera Network on June 18, 2025, marking a crucial advancement in digital payments based on the Australian dollar. 

This first commercial implementation born from the Hedera Stablecoin Studio brings the Australian digital currency to benefit from Hedera’s secure, scalable, and sustainable infrastructure.

Thanks to the use of the Hedera Token Service (HTS), AUDD can now be stored, sent, and received instantly through wallets compatible with Hedera, offering seamless and real-time access to payments in stablecoin. 

This is an innovation that represents an important step forward for the financial sector in the APAC region and beyond.

Launch of the stablecoin AUDD on Hedera: a breakthrough for digital payments

The choice of Hedera as the platform for AUDD ensures enterprise-level performance, including transaction finality in seconds and predictable, very low fees, amounting to only 0.001 USD per transfer. 

The entire Hedera network suggests a carbon-negative footprint, making it ideal for digital ecosystems connected to sustainability and programmable finance themes.

As a result, AUDD can support micropayments and advanced features such as smart contracts, maintaining a perfect balance between efficiency, cost, and environmental responsibility.

Effie Dimitropoulos, CEO of AUDC Pty Ltd, emphasized that the project represents a fundamental step for the digital economy, stimulating the tokenization of goods, services, and assets. The adoption of stablecoins like AUDD, in fact, is set to become central in the future interaction between real currencies and decentralized finance, ensuring security and compliance.

Tokenization and interoperability in the real world

Tokenization is revolutionizing many sectors, from the carbon credits market to digital assets. AUDD built on Hedera offers a stable digital currency that meets regulation and compliance requirements, while maintaining high speed and scalability of global transactions. 

Thanks to compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the network supports interoperability with other blockchain ecosystems, facilitating the mass adoption of stablecoin.

Comments from HBAR Inc.

Sabrina Tachdjian, head of Fintech & Payments at HBAR Inc., described the launch of AUDD as a transformative moment that strengthens Hedera’s position in the stablecoin ecosystem. From cross-border payments to digital markets, and even ESG reporting and green asset flows, AUDD opens up new possibilities for innovative and sustainable financial solutions.

A multichain strategy for a global stablecoin

The availability of AUDD extends beyond Hedera, as it is already issued on the Ethereum, Stellar, XRPL, Solana, and XDC networks. This multi-chain approach makes AUDD a fundamental infrastructure for the exchange of tokenized values in the DeFi, payments, and digital commerce sectors. Thus, the digital currency lends itself to widespread adoption that meets users’ innovation needs and strict regulatory requirements.

Interested parties can purchase AUDD with a 1:1 rate compared to traditional AUD through the official website and use the main wallets and interfaces compatible with Hedera.
