According to PANews, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) announced on June 13 that it has sold its entire stake in blockchain developer Digital Asset Holdings for approximately $57 million. This transaction will be reflected in ASX's financial report for the fiscal year 2025, with an expected pre-tax gain of about $42 million compared to the book value and around $10 million compared to the initial acquisition cost. The gains will be recorded in the asset revaluation reserve. ASX acquired an 8.5% stake in Digital Asset in 2016 as part of its initiative to replace its outdated CHESS clearing and settlement system with blockchain technology. However, the project was canceled in November 2022 after Digital Asset and VMware failed to meet key objectives, resulting in a $250 million loss for ASX. Currently, Tata Consulting Services is advancing a new CHESS replacement project. Meanwhile, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has filed a lawsuit against ASX for misleading statements, alleging that it did not accurately represent the progress of the blockchain project.

According to BlockBeats, CoinShares released its latest weekly report indicating that despite geopolitical tensions impacting risk assets, digital assets demonstrated strong resilience, attracting significant capital inflows alongside gold. Digital asset investment products recorded a net inflow of $1.9 billion, marking the ninth consecutive week of inflows. During this period of continuous inflows, the total has reached $12.9 billion, with year-to-date inflows hitting a record high of $13.2 billion.

According to Cointelegraph, cryptocurrency investment products maintained their multi-week inflow streak last week, as Bitcoin approached new highs and Ether briefly surpassed $2,800 for the first time since February. Global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $1.9 billion in inflows for the trading week ending June 13, extending a nine-week streak to $12.9 billion, as reported by CoinShares on June 16. The recent inflows have propelled crypto ETPs to a new historic record of year-to-date inflows, reaching $13.2 billion, according to James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research. The total assets under management (AuM) in crypto ETPs increased to $179 billion, up from $175.9 billion the previous week. Bitcoin investment products rebounded after two weeks of minor outflows, leading the inflow chart last week with $1.3 billion. Short-Bitcoin products also saw modest inflows of $3.7 million, although their AuM remained relatively low at $96 million. Ether ETPs ranked second in inflows, continuing their positive trend with an additional $583 million last week. Butterfill noted that these inflows marked the largest gains for ETH products since February, including their strongest single-day inflows. Following a three-week period of outflows, XRP investment products experienced $11.8 million in inflows last week, while Sui products saw an additional $3.5 million in inflows. This ongoing trend of inflows highlights the growing interest and investment in cryptocurrency products as the market continues to evolve.
