Stablecoin Standard Welcomes Newest Member: Macropod
London, UK - January 14th
Macropod today announced a strategic partnership with Stablecoin Standard, the global industry body for stablecoin issuers, to advance international best practices and drive real-world adoption of regulated stablecoins like AUDM.
The partnership with Stablecoin Standard positions Macropod to hop into the global conversation by collaborating with international peers, contributing to industry-led working groups, and helping shape the evolution of high-quality, liquid, and fully compliant stablecoins
Drew Bradford, CEO of Macropod said:
“This partnership reinforces our commitment to building a stablecoin ecosystem that is trusted, compliant, and designed for real-world use. At Macropod, we combine the strength and consumer protection of traditional finance with blockchain's speed and innovation. Working with Stablecoin Standard allows us to share our experience as Australia's first regulated stablecoin issuer and actively contribute to the international frameworks that will shape the future of digital finance.”
Christian Walker, Chairman and Co-Founder of Stablecoin Standard, said:
“Our mission is to accelerate global adoption of digital money through education, best practice sharing, and policy engagement with regulators worldwide. AUDM is a leading example of a fully backed, regulated stablecoin, and Macropod’s pioneering expertise will be invaluable as we work together to define high-quality standards for the stablecoin industry globally.”
The announcement follows last week’s launch of the web interface for the Macropod Platform, which now allows AUDM to be minted and redeemed directly via macropod.com. AUDM is issued by Macropod under Australia’s first AFSL expressly granted for stablecoin issuance. It is fully backed, redeemable, and designed for real-world use in payments, treasury, and tokenised markets.
