币界网报道:

澳大利亚证券和投资委员会(ASIC)已在联邦法院对澳大利亚最大的市场运营商ASX有限公司提起法律诉讼。该案的核心指控是,澳交所对其清算所做出了误导性陈述。清算所被定义为买卖双方之间的中介,有助于促进从交易开始到结算的整个过程。清算所简化了支付、证券或衍生品交易的交换。清算所位于两家清算公司之间,这两家清算公司也有助于降低任何一家成员公司未能履行各自贸易结算义务的风险。买方和卖方签订具有法律约束力的协议。清算所被定义为买方和卖方之间的中介,有助于促进从交易开始到结算的整个过程。清算所简化了支付、证券或衍生品交易的交换。清算所位于两家清算公司之间,这两家清算公司也有助于降低任何一家成员公司未能履行各自贸易结算义务的风险。买方和卖方就e-Read本期电子子注册系统(CHESS)更换项目签订具有法律约束力的协议。

ASIC挑战ASX的说法

ASIC声称,澳大利亚证券交易所于2022年2月10日发布的公告具有误导性,该公告声称CHESS替代项目将于2023年4月“上线”,并且“进展顺利”。

ASIC表示,这些声明表明该项目符合澳交所宣布的计划,预计将达到未来的里程碑,包括2023年4月的计划上线日期。

澳大利亚证券和投资委员会(ASIC)是澳大利亚企业、市场、金融服务和消费信贷的主要监管机构。根据金融服务法,它有权促进、监管和执行澳大利亚金融法。澳大利亚委员会根据2001年《澳大利亚证券和投资委员会法》成立并管理。ASIC最初是根据1989年ASC法案成立的澳大利亚证券委员会。最初,澳大利亚证券和投资委员会(ASIC)是澳大利亚企业、市场、金融服务和消费信贷的主要监管机构。根据金融服务法,它有权促进、监管和执行澳大利亚金融法。澳大利亚委员会根据2001年《澳大利亚证券和投资委员会法》成立并管理。ASIC最初是根据1989年ASC法案成立的澳大利亚证券委员会。最初,“阅读本条款”辩称,这些陈述具有欺骗性,因为在公告时,该项目没有按计划进行,澳交所没有合理的依据暗示它将达到预期的里程碑。

ASX问责制受到审查

ASIC主席Joe Longo强调了指控的严重性,并表示市场的完整性取决于ASX声明的准确性。“ASX的声明触及了人们对我们市场诚信的信任,”Longo说。他将这种情况描述为当时澳交所董事会和高级管理人员的“集体失败”。

Longo进一步解释说,公司和市场参与者依靠ASX的沟通来做出明智的决策和投资。他指出,CHESS替代项目是一项重大的技术举措,对澳大利亚经济的运行至关重要。

Longo补充道:“这一点至关重要,因为澳大利亚证券交易所需要确保向澳大利亚公众告知该项目如何跟踪以及是否会按时完成的真相。”。

ASIC声称,截至2022年2月10日的真实情况是该项目“进展不顺利”,这与ASX的公开声明相矛盾。该项目最终面临延误,并于2022年11月暂停,导致澳大利亚证券交易所和依赖早期保证的市场参与者承担了巨大的成本。

澳大利亚证券和投资委员会起诉澳大利亚证券交易所罚款

ASIC尚未确定对澳交所涉嫌违规行为的处罚。然而,据Finance Magnates报道,ASIC最近采取了一系列行动,包括2024年3月对澳大利亚证券交易所因不遵守市场诚信规则而处以1050000美元的罚款,以及对其他市场参与者的执法行动。

2022年3月28日,在有争议的声明发布约六周后,澳大利亚证券交易所宣布,2023年4月的上线日期可能会进一步推迟。随后,澳大利亚证券交易所聘请埃森哲对该项目进行审查。埃森哲报告强调了解决方案设计及其满足ASX要求的能力所面临的重大挑战,导致ASX暂停了该项目并减记了2.5亿美元的成本。

ASIC的法律行动突显了其对保持对澳大利亚市场完整性的信心的承诺,特别是考虑到ASX在公司治理和关键国家基础设施管理方面的作用。

Fu Peng's First Public Speech in 2026: What Exactly Are Crypto Assets? Why Did I Join the Crypto Asset Industry?

Fu Peng, a renowned macroeconomist and now Chief Economist at New火 Group, delivered his first public speech of 2026 at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival. He explained his perspective on crypto assets and why he joined the industry, framing it within the context of macroeconomic trends and financial evolution. Fu emphasized that crypto assets are transitioning from an early, belief-driven phase to a mature, institutionally integrated asset class. He drew parallels to the 1970s-80s, when technological advances (like computing) revolutionized traditional finance, leading to the rise of FICC (Fixed Income, Currencies, and Commodities). Similarly, current advancements in AI, data, and blockchain are reshaping finance, with crypto assets becoming part of a new "FICC + C" (C for Crypto) framework. He noted that institutional capital, including traditional hedge funds, avoided early crypto due to its speculative nature but are now engaging as regulatory clarity emerges (e.g., stablecoin laws, CFTC classifying crypto as a commodity). Fu predicted that 2025-2026 marks a turning point where crypto becomes a standardized, financially viable asset for diversified portfolios, akin to commodities or derivatives in traditional finance. Fu defined Bitcoin not as "digital gold" in a simplistic sense but as a value-preserving, financially tradable asset. He highlighted that crypto's future lies in regulated, institutional adoption, moving away from retail-dominated trading. His entry into crypto signals this maturation, where traditional finance integrates crypto into mainstream asset management.

Justin Sun Sues Trump Family: What $75 Million Bought Was Only a Blacklist

Justin Sun, founder of Tron, has filed a lawsuit in federal court against World Liberty Financial (WLF), alleging he was made the "primary target of a fraudulent scheme" after investing $75 million. Sun claims the investment secured him an advisor title and WLFI tokens, which were later frozen by WLF, causing "hundreds of millions in losses." The dispute began in late 2024 when Sun's investment helped revive WLF's struggling token sale, which ultimately raised $550 million. Shortly after, the SEC dropped its lawsuit against Sun following Donald Trump's inauguration. However, relations soured when Sun refused WLF's demands for additional funding. In August 2025, WLF added a "blacklist" function to its smart contract, allowing it to unilaterally freeze tokens. Sun's holdings, worth approximately $107 million, were frozen, and he was threatened with token destruction. The lawsuit highlights WLF's structure, which directs 75% of token sale profits to the Trump family, who had earned $1 billion by December 2025. WLF's CEO is Zach Witkoff, son of U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. The project faces scrutiny for opaque operations, including a controversial loan arrangement on the Dolomite platform, co-founded by a WLF advisor. Despite Sun's history with the SEC, the case underscores centralization risks within DeFi, as WLF controls governance and holds powers to freeze assets arbitrarily. Sun's tokens remain frozen as legal proceedings begin.

$500 to Buy OpenAI Stock: Silicon Valley's Most Respectable Liquidity Invitation

Silicon Valley's largest venture capital platform, AngelList, has launched a new fund called USVC, allowing U.S. retail investors to buy into high-profile AI companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI with a minimum investment of $500—no accredited investor status required. Promoted by AngelList co-founder Naval Ravikant, the fund is framed as an opportunity for ordinary people to access high-growth private tech investments traditionally reserved for VCs. However, critics argue it functions more like an exit vehicle for early insiders. USVC acquires shares not through primary rounds but largely via secondary transactions—purchasing stakes from early investors, VC funds, and employees looking to cash out at peak valuations. With companies like xAI heavily weighted in the portfolio, the fund effectively channels retail money into providing liquidity for insiders who entered at much lower valuations. The fund’s structure raises concerns: shares are illiquid, with no secondary market, and buybacks are limited and discretionary. The actual annual fee reaches 3.61%, far above the advertised 1% management fee. This model parallels the "low float, high fully diluted valuation" strategy seen in crypto, where early investors profit by selling to latecomers at inflated prices. The timing—alongside similar moves by platforms like Robinhood—suggests that Silicon Valley’s sudden interest in retail inclusion may be less about democratizing access and more about securing exits for insiders.
