According to Deep Tide TechFlow, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) plans to appeal the High Court's ruling that Block Earner's Access product is not a financial product. In March 2024, the High Court dismissed ASIC's allegations that Block Earner was providing unlicensed financial services through its decentralized finance (DeFi) product Access. ASIC seeks to clarify the definition of financial products, asserting that this definition should apply to all products, regardless of whether they involve cryptocurrency. The High Court previously ruled in a split decision on the ASIC vs. Block Earner case, supporting the allegations of unlicensed financial services for the Earner product but dismissing the allegations against the Access product.
