No trouble with ASIC, but "accreditation" means something entirely different in the U.S.

Please name a country where ASIC accrediatation grants institutional recognition as a degree-granting institution.

Accrediting bodies attest to the quality of the education, not legalize, authorize, nor award degree-granting status. Countries, through their respective education systems can recognize accreditors, but that would not supersede their laws about degree-granting authority.

Is there one accreditor that grants institutional recognition as a degree-granting institution? 

The following countries recognize ASIC as an accreditor:

• United Arab Emirates https://ipap.mohesr.gov.ae/Pages/Interna...Valid.aspx
  
• Thailand  https://www.onesqa.or.th/en/content-view/1218/4277/
  
• Kingdom of Jordan https://rce.mohe.gov.jo/Files/55-2023-en.pdf
  

Arguably, can also add the UK for Visas and Immigrations

As for France, French Law determines who can grant degrees - Private Institutions, more specifically distance education centres, can award diplomas, certificates, and degrees under the French Education code under adherence to the following sets of rules, and thus function as a private degree-granting institution:

Chapter IV: Private institutions providing distance education. (Articles L444-1 to L444-11)
https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/sec...0006166630

Chapter IV: Private institutions providing distance education. (Articles R444-1 to R444-28)
https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/sec...0018379716

They effectively function as a private university under that set of laws, however: 
L731-14 of the French Education Code (Code de l'éducation) says no private institution may use the French term université, thus in France no private institution is a université
https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/art...0027748361

Private institutions typically brand themselves using terms like école (school), institut (institute), or grande école (Big School) - however grand école are fully French State recognized and are on par with French public universités

Using the English term "College" or "University" is not unlawful under French Law.
