An Australian cryptocurrency firm is facing fresh delays on its road to debuting on the Australian Securities Exchange.

An Australian cryptocurrency firm is facing fresh delays on its road to debuting on the Australian Securities Exchange.
Australia's chief securities regulator, the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC), has issued an interim stop order on the investment prospectus submitted by Bitcoin Group Ltd for undisclosed reasons.
According to the ASIC's website, such orders may be issued if any documents submitted contain "misleading or deceptive" content, omit any required information or are subject to pending revision following entry.
ASIC initially extended the exposure period on 6th July before issuing the interim stop order one week later.
Bitcoin Group received a public scolding by ASIC in February after the company used social media channels to garner interest in its anticipated stock offering. At the time, the regulator said that the company must file a prospectus before such statements could be made. Bitcoin Group announced that it had filed its prospectus on 29th June.
ASIC and Bitcoin Group did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Robinhood misses Q4 revenue estimates as fourth-quarter results dinged by crypto slump

Crypto revenue fell 38% year over year to $221M, even as the company expanded token listings and crypto features across its platform.
Lo que debes saber:
- Robinhood’s fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.66 topped estimates for $0.63, but revenue of $1.28 billion fell shy of forecasts for $1.33 billion.
- The crypto slump paid a large part in the miss, with crypto revenue falling 38% from a year earlier to $221 million.
- Robinhood’s results mirror broader crypto-market weakness, which is also expected to weigh on rival Coinbase (COIN), and HOOD shares fell about 7% in post-market trading after the earnings release.
