Zerocap Integrates Integral Digital as Australian Crypto Licensing Deadline Looms

The deal gives Zerocap a single connection to fiat and crypto liquidity plus a real-time pricing engine to support 24/7 cross-currency trading under rising regulatory pressure.

Overview

  • Zerocap announced on Tuesday that it has integrated Integral Digital to run its institutional crypto and FX trading, gaining one point of connectivity to liquidity providers and a pricing engine that builds synthetic currency pairs.
  • Integral’s platform consolidates portfolio views, margin data and automated risk controls and it allowed Zerocap to create customised liquidity pools and link back-office tools such as Elysium.
  • Regulators have set a new licence-application deadline of 30 September and extended a temporary enforcement pause in June, with unlicensed providers facing fines up to 10% of annual turnover if they fail to file.
  • Zerocap currently operates as a corporate authorised representative under AFSL 340799 and is registered with AUSTRAC, and the company has not publicly confirmed whether it has lodged its own ASIC licence application.
  • The partnership reflects a wider shift by legacy FX vendors into crypto services — Integral moved into digital assets in 2023 and offers PrimeOne, a stablecoin-based prime broker — a trend that could speed consolidation and push institutional trading standards across Asia-Pacific ahead of new rules starting in April 2027.
