Pepperstone Crypto (pcrypto.com) is live as an AUSTRAC-registered crypto trading platform for Australian residents. The platform currently supports five digital assets: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Tether (USDT), and USD Coin (USDC). Trading options include a simple Convert tool with spread-only pricing and a spot trading interface with a flat 0.1% maker/taker fee.
Operated by Pepperstone Digital Pty Ltd (ACN: 683 263 836), the platform is part of the Pepperstone Group which has been in financial services since 2010. The Group CEO Tamas Szabo and Head of Crypto Hsann Naing lead the crypto division. Client funds are fully ringfenced from company capital, and Pepperstone Crypto states it does not lend client assets. AUD deposits and withdrawals are free. The company has indicated plans to expand both the coin offering and geographic availability, but no specific timelines have been published. The platform operates as principal and counterparty to all trades, not as a traditional exchange with a public order book.
