This registration marks an initial regulatory milestone in exploring a compliant framework for a digital-asset exchange, aligning with Australian AML/CTF laws.

Comprehensive risk assessments have been conducted, and compliance with ASX Listing Rules is affirmed. The registration serves as part of ASF Capital's strategic expansion within regulated financial markets, with ongoing legal advice to maintain regulatory adherence.
