I have never bought into the the argument that the company is not able to provide information about crypto in fear of upsetting the ASX. My points below have nothing to do with my thoughts about the company, I just do not buy into the excuse shared on hot copper that the company can not provide information for fear of being delisted.
1) In yesterdays ASX released Investor Presentation there were 20 mentions of NFT's. NFT's to the best of my knowledge are not traded using FIAT they appear to be predominantly traded with Etherium (https://opensea.io/), Matic (https://ultiarena.com/home) etc. Therefore discussions of NFT's reference crypto trading.
2) How can the ASX block discussion of crypto related matters when it permits trade of Crypto via an ETF that blatantly tracks the performance of crypto related companies and makes no effort to disguise what it does. ASX website About CRYP The investment objective of the Fund is to provide an investment return that aims to track the performance of the Bitwise Crypto Innovators Index (the "Index'), before taking into account fees and expenses. https://bitqetf.com/

3) Amonica Brand's removal from ASX is often quoted in reference to the ASX not allowing ICI to discuss crypto but according to the Financial Review the reason they were delisted was for "swapping stock for crypto tokens", which would make sense as that would be bypassing ASX trading platforms costing the ASX fees and allowing the practice to continue would set a difficult precedent for the ASX.
