币界网报道:According to the news on June 16, the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) announced on June 13 that it would sell all of its shares in blockchain developer Digital Asset Holdings for approximately US$57 million. The transaction will be reflected in the ASX's 2025 financial report and is expected to bring about US$42 million in pre-tax earnings (compared to book value) and about US$10 million in pre-tax earnings (compared to the initial acquisition cost). The proceeds will be included in the asset revaluation reserve. ASX acquired an 8.5% stake in Digital Asset in 2016 when it replaced its old CHESS clearing and settlement system with blockchain technology. However, the project was canceled in November 2022 due to the failure of Digital Asset and VMware to complete key goals, resulting in a loss of US$250 million for ASX. Currently, Tata Consulting Services is advancing the new CHESS replacement project. At the same time, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is suing ASX for misleading statements, claiming that it did not truthfully reflect the progress of the blockchain project.
