Overview
- Pepperstone’s spot exchange went live on Feb. 12 and is currently accessible only to Australian customers.
- The platform lists Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, USDC, and USDT at launch, with all markets quoted against the Australian dollar.
- Trading carries a flat 0.1% fee, positioning the service as a price-competitive option in the local market.
- The company built the exchange infrastructure internally and plans to leverage its stated USD 6 billion in monthly crypto CFD volume to support liquidity and execution.
- Pepperstone will keep the new spot offering separate from its legacy crypto CFDs and indicates more asset listings are planned, as peers like IG Group and CMC Markets broaden their own crypto services.
