FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sydney, AU – 18 November 2025 – AUDC Pty Ltd (“AUDC”) today announced that its Australian-dollar stablecoin, AUDD (Australian Digital Dollar), has exceeded $1 billion in organically generated on-chain transactions on the Stellar blockchain.

Now in its third year of live operation, AUDD has built a trusted presence in the market through consistent transparency, compliance, and performance. The milestone underscores real, utility-driven demand for a regulated Australian-dollar stablecoin across treasury management, settlements, trading pairs, cross-border payments, and decentralised finance (DeFi) applications.

Effie Dimitropoulos, CEO of AUDC, said:

“Surpassing $1 billion in transactions on Stellar after three years of live operations shows that AUDD is proven, working infrastructure solving real inefficiencies. The market has validated both the trust and need for an Australian-dollar stablecoin that businesses can rely on for treasury, trading, settlements and cross-border flows.”

“Demand and momentum are accelerating – more than half a billion dollars of those transactions occurred in just the past four months,” Dimitropoulos noted.

“From day one, our focus has been on demonstrating real demand, not manufactured volume. The fast, transparent and low-cost Stellar network for settlement has been critical in proving that compliant, Australian-backed stablecoins can deliver tangible efficiency across the digital economy,” she added.

Jose Fernandez da Ponte, Stellar Development Foundation President and Chief Growth Officer, said:

“As global finance moves onchain, there is going to be more demand for non-USD stablecoins so that people can operate within their own local economies. The success of AUDD speaks to this demand. The Stellar network’s fast settlement and ultra‑low cost enable real-world use cases that let people spend and save in local currencies onchain.”

Stellar-powered growth and interoperability

AUDD’s success on Stellar reflects the strength of the network’s payment-first design and alignment with AUDC’s compliance-driven approach. The stablecoin is also interoperable across other major blockchains – including Ethereum, Ripple, XDC, Hedera, Solana, and Base – extending its reach to exchanges and DeFi platforms while maintaining Stellar as its core operational network.

Compliance and transparency remain central

All client funds backing AUDD are held in accounts with Australian Deposit Taking Institutions (ADIs), ensuring full 1:1 backing and adherence to Australian regulatory expectations. AUDC operates under robust AML/CTF frameworks and is advancing its Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) application with ASIC, reinforcing its position as a trusted bridge between regulated finance and blockchain innovation.

With three years of live operations and more than $1 billion in verified, Stellar on-chain transactions, AUDD has proven that there is real, organic demand for a trusted, compliant, Australian-dollar stablecoin. AUDC remains focused on expanding AUDD’s role as a core piece of Australia’s digital finance infrastructure, connecting traditional payments, blockchain innovation, and the next generation of global commerce.
