Full Court Dismisses ASIC Appeal in Finder Wallet Case

Consequently, the court determined that Finder Wallet did not breach the Corporations Act as alleged by the regulator. This decision underscores the regulatory challenges in applying existing financial services laws to crypto-assets and prompts ASIC to carefully consider its implications.
