Collybus Gets Regulatory Nod for Digital Assets and FX Tech Launch

Collybus, a firm founded by four FX veterans has received its Australian Financial Services Licence – a major step forward for the company which will provide infrastructure technology for FX and digital asset market participants.

Collybus has been co-founded by Peter Jacobson, Greg O’Sullivan, Jonathan Wharton and James Dalton, the first two, formerly of Rhicon Currency Managerment and 360T are co-CEO’s, while Wharton, also from Rhicon is chief commercial officer and Dalton, who held senior e-FX roles at NAB and Citi, is chief technology officer. Initially the AFSL licence will see the firm launch an institutional brokerage business, providing clients with a regulated environment for access across digital asset derivatives. 

The platform, which is available via a GUI, API or white label, offers cross‑venue depth, sets normalised sizes, and offers execution algos and different order types. Users can also track funding in real time, and manage risk 24/7.

“This approval represents a defining moment not just for Collybus, but for the broader digital-asset ecosystem in Australia,” says O’Sullivan. “With the AFSL in place, we will deliver true regulated institutional-market infrastructure, scalable liquidity, and transparent execution. We’re excited to lead the next phase of digital-asset market maturity.”
