08 Dec, 2025
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Melbourne, Australia – 8 December 2025 – AUDC Pty Ltd (“AUDC”), the issuer of the AUDD stablecoin, today announced the successful Pre-Series A investment round for $5m, strengthening its position as Australia’s leading institutional-grade AUD stablecoin provider.
The round was led by InWelt Holdings AG, a Swiss-based investment group with significant investments across the global travel and fintech sectors and over a quarter-billion dollars in assets on its balance sheet. InWelt committed $4 million as the lead investor, signalling strong conviction in AUDC’s regulatory-first approach, operational readiness, and its role in the future of compliant digital money infrastructure in Australia.
The round was oversubscribed. AUDC increased the raise to accommodate select investors from fintech, payments, and digital asset infrastructure, further broadening institutional support ahead of the company’s forthcoming planned Series A round.“Demand and momentum are accelerating – more than half a billion dollars of those transactions occurred in just the past four months,” Dimitropoulos noted.
Strengthening Leadership in Regulated Digital Money
AUDC CEO Effie Dimitropoulos welcomed the milestone:
“This Pre-Series A round marks a significant step forward in accelerating AUDD’s adoption across domestic and international payment flows, tokenised assets, and institutional settlements. The calibre of our lead investor, InWelt Holdings AG, combined with strong demand from strategic investors, reinforces the market’s confidence in our regulatory posture, governance frameworks, and commercial trajectory.”
AUDC operates AUDD – Australia’s institutional-grade Australian Dollar stablecoin – across multiple global blockchain networks with a focus on transparency, market integrity, and strict compliance with Australian and international regulatory standards. The company provides enterprise-ready infrastructure for payments, trading, tokenised assets, and cross-border settlements.
Industry Recognition and Momentum
AUDC’s progress continues to be acknowledged across the digital asset ecosystem. In November 2025, the company was named Start-Up / Scale-Up of the Year at the Blockies, an industry awards program hosted by the Digital Economy Council of Australia (DECA). This recognition reflects AUDC’s leadership in building trusted, compliant digital money solutions.
Recent milestones include:
• Surpassing $1 billion in transaction volume on the Stellar blockchain alone
• Becoming the first Australian Dollar stablecoin listed on global exchange leader, Coinbase
• Entering a strategic partnership with Coinbase to support global access to AUDD
• Participation in major national and international pilot programs, including the RBA-DFCRC CBDC Stablecoin Pilot, MAS (DESFT) Cross-Border Trade Pilot, and multiple phases of Project Acacia.
These achievements reinforce AUDC’s position as a trusted infrastructure provider in the rapidly evolving global digital asset landscape.
Positioning for Series A
The successful Pre-Series A round provides AUDC with additional resources to expand institutional use cases, strengthen compliance and security infrastructure, accelerate partnerships, and further scale the AUDD ecosystem across Australia and key global markets.
AUDC will shortly commence engagement with global venture and strategic investors for its planned Series A round.
