It was earlier this year when the ASX pressed ahead with its plans to implement blockchain settlement alongside its existing CHESS clearing system in a real-world trial. Following a year of its CEO hinting that the ASX might seek to tap into distributed ledger solutions, the bourse operator followed up with an AUD $14.9 million investment for a 5% equity in New York-based blockchain startup Digital Asset Holdings.
