Pepperstone Enters Digital Asset Space with Regulated Spot Crypto Exchange

Pepperstone Crypto, a regulated spot crypto exchange in Australia, has launched with a flat 0.1% fee structure. The platform is built on the firm's existing global technology stack, which provides infrastructure derived from its broader trading ecosystem.

The implementation of regulatory frameworks such as the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and clearer licensing regimes have collectively altered the operating environment for digital asset platforms. As a result, attention is shifting toward infrastructure and accountability.

Pepperstone Crypto aims to extend its risk management and compliance frameworks to the digital asset ecosystem, providing stability and transparency to traders. The platform operates within established regulatory frameworks in Australia and is regulated by the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC).
