XDC Network Partnership Modernizes Australia-US Payment Infrastructure
XDC Network has partnered with AUDD to modernize payment infrastructure for business transactions between Australia and the United States. The payments system allows businesses to convert Australian dollars to US dollars faster, compared to the existing 3-5 day wait time and large fees currently charged by banks for international wire transfers.
The collaboration intends to reform traditional banking rails by offering faster settlement times and greater efficiency in a sector that faces high costs and multiple intermediaries. The AUDD stablecoin is plugged into the Universal Digital Payments Network that links multiple countries, a Hong Kong-Australia trade programme, and export systems across Singapore and the UAE.

The live XDC Network price is $0.039864 USD with a 24-hour trading volume of $30,281,765 USD. XDC Network is down 0.42% in the last 24 hours. The current CoinMarketCap ranking is #74, with a live market cap of $760,828,199 USD.
