We have increased the scope of the project and extended the timeline,” said ASX CEO Dominic Stevens. The Australian Securities Exchange, or ASX, has delayed its switch to blockchain for the third time, citing complications due to COVID-19 and additional feedback from stakeholders.

According to an Oct. 28 update from the ASX, the exchange has officially delayed the rollout of distributed ledger technology (DLT) infrastructure to replace its current system for processing equity transactions. ASX will now release the project — the replacement for the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS) — in April 2023, a one-year push from its most recent timetable.
