AUDD Stablecoin Launches on Hedera Network for Asia-Pacific Payments

AUDD, the Australian Dollar-backed stablecoin, has officially launched on the Hedera network, marking a significant milestone in the digital currency landscape. This launch is the first commercial implementation of Hedera’s Stablecoin Studio, utilizing the Hedera Token Service (HTS). AUDD is now present across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Stellar, XRPL, Solana, and XDC, in addition to Hedera.

The integration of AUDD with the Hedera network aims to drive digital payments throughout the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. Hedera’s enterprise-grade infrastructure supports fast, low-cost, and environmentally sustainable transactions, making it an ideal platform for various financial use cases. The collaboration with the Hedera Foundation highlights the network’s capacity to support institutional-grade, compliant, and programmable financial applications.

Hedera’s carbon-negative footprint and predictable transaction fees of $0.001 USD per transfer make it particularly suitable for micropayments, cross-border settlements, and digital marketplaces. This launch aligns with broader trends in the financial sector towards tokenization and decentralized finance, enhancing AUDD’s utility for real-world applications such as trade finance and green asset flows.

The partnership underscores Hedera’s role in fostering innovation in the digital economy, providing a scalable and reliable infrastructure for developers and enterprises. As the stablecoin ecosystem continues to grow, AUDD’s presence on Hedera positions it as a key player in the global push towards efficient, transparent, and sustainable digital payments.
