What is CADC (CAD Coin)?

CAD Coin (CADC) is a fully regulated Canadian dollar stablecoin — a digital asset where every token is backed 1:1 by real Canadian dollars held in a bank account, redeemable at any time on a one-to-one basis. Issued by LOON PAYMENTS Inc., a fully licensed Money Services Business regulated by FINTRAC — Canada's financial intelligence unit — CADC brings the transparency and composability of digital assets to the Canadian dollar. The CADC smart contract is forked directly from Circle's USDC design, inheriting one of the most battle-tested stablecoin architectures in the industry, and operates across Ethereum, Base, Polygon, and Arbitrum. For Australian investors and businesses that regularly deal with Canadian dollar exposure — whether for cross-border trade, immigration remittances, property transactions, or access to Canadian DeFi markets — CADC offers a transparent, regulated, and blockchain-native way to hold and move CAD instantly at a fraction of the cost of traditional international wire transfers. Australia's strong trade relationship with Canada and the significant number of Australians living and working in Canada make CAD exposure particularly relevant in the Australian market. Uptrade is Australia's trusted CAD Coin broker — making it simple, secure, and fast for investors across Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I buy CADC in Australia?
CADC is available via decentralised exchanges on the Base, Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum networks. Australians can access CADC by first purchasing ETH or USDC on a local AUSTRAC-registered exchange like Swyftx or CoinSpot, then swapping via a DEX such as Aerodrome or Uniswap. For Australian investors looking for a simpler, more guided approach to accessing CAD-denominated digital assets, buying through a dedicated crypto broker like UpTrade removes the complexity of navigating DEXs and cross-chain bridging.
Why would an Australian investor buy CADC?
For Australians with Canadian dollar obligations — whether for business payments, Canadian property transactions, student tuition fees, or family remittances — CADC offers a fast, low-cost, blockchain-native alternative to traditional bank wire transfers. Moving CAD via CADC on Base or Polygon settles in seconds at fractions of a cent compared to the days and fees involved in international AUD-to-CAD bank transfers. It also enables Australian investors to access Canadian dollar yield opportunities and DeFi markets that are not accessible through traditional Australian financial accounts.
What makes CAD Coin different from other stablecoins?
Most stablecoins available to Australian investors are pegged to the US dollar. CADC is one of the very few regulated, fully-backed Canadian dollar stablecoins in existence — giving it a unique position for any Australian investor or business that needs on-chain CAD exposure. Its FINTRAC-regulated issuer, USDC-derived smart contract architecture, and multi-chain availability across Ethereum, Base, Polygon, and Arbitrum give it a level of regulatory transparency and technical composability that distinguishes it from less regulated CAD-pegged alternatives.
Is it legal and safe to buy CADC in Australia?
Yes — buying CADC is legal in Australia. CADC is issued by LOON PAYMENTS Inc., a FINTRAC-regulated Canadian Money Services Business, giving it institutional regulatory backing. Australian investors should be aware that CADC carries AUD/CAD exchange rate exposure — meaning any gains or losses from currency movements between the Australian and Canadian dollar may be subject to ATO capital gains tax reporting. The ATO treats CADC as a crypto asset subject to CGT obligations. A crypto-savvy accountant is strongly recommended to ensure your CADC transactions are handled correctly under ATO guidelines.
