澳大利亚的金融监管机构将寻求高等法院的许可，以对下级法院的裁决提出上诉。

澳大利亚证券和投资委员会于5月21日表示，它希望要求澳大利亚高等法院澄清金融产品的定义是什么，并阐明借出利息产品以及资产从一种形式转换为另一种形式的情况。

Australia’s financial regulator will seek the High Court’s permission to appeal a lower court’s ruling favoring fintech firm Block Earner, which found the company’s crypto-linked fixed-yield earning service is not a financial product.

澳大利亚的金融监管机构将寻求高等法院的许可，上诉下级法院对金融​​科技公司Block收入者的裁决，该公司发现该公司与加密货币固定收益的固定收益服务不是金融产品。

The Australian Securities and Investment Commission said on May 21 that it wants to ask the High Court of Australia to clarify what the definition of a financial product is and clarify the circumstances when an interest-earning product and the conversion of assets from one form to another are regulated.

澳大利亚证券和投资委员会于5月21日表示，它希望要求澳大利亚高等法院澄清金融产品的定义是什么，并阐明借出利息产品以及资产从一种形式转换为另一种形式的情况。

“The definition of financial product was drafted in a broad and technology-neutral way, and ASIC believes it is in the public interest to clarify this,” the watchdog said.

看门狗说：“金融产品的定义是以广泛而技术上的方式起草的，ASIC认为澄清这一点符合公共利益。”

On April 22, Federal Court Justices David O’Callaghan, Wendy Abraham and Catherine Button found that Block Earner’s crypto-linked fixed-yield earning product is not a financial product, a managed investment scheme or a derivative under the Corporations Act.

4月22日，联邦法院大法官戴维·奥卡拉汉（David O'Callaghan），温迪·亚伯拉罕（Wendy Abraham）和凯瑟琳·巴顿（Catherine Button）发现，根据《公司法》，Block Earner与加密货币固定收益的固定收益产品不是金融产品，或者是公司法。

ASIC said the court will consider its application. Special leave is required in an appeal to the High Court, and it’s only granted in cases where it would answer significant legal questions or matters of public interest.

阿西奇说，法院将考虑其申请。在向高等法院提出呼吁时，需要特别假，并且仅在回答重大法律问题或公共利益事项的情况下才授予。

A Block Earner spokesperson told Cointelegraph the matter has now escalated to a “broader legal question” around the definition of a financial product, which extends “well beyond Block Earner, and the crypto sector.”

一位收入收入者发言人告诉Cointelegraph，此事现已介绍了一个关于金融产品的定义的“更广泛的法律问题”，该产品扩展了“远远超出了Block Charner和Crypto行业”。

“We believe the Full Federal Court’s April ruling was a strong and well-reasoned decision that upheld the integrity of our operations,” the spokesperson said. “We remain confident in the soundness of that judgment and will respond to ASIC’s application through the appropriate legal channels.”

发言人说：“我们认为，联邦法院的四月裁决是一个坚定而有理由的决定，维持了我们行动的完整性。” “我们对这一判断的健全性有信心，并将通过适当的法律渠道响应ASIC的应用。”

Legal saga ongoing since 2022

自2022年以来的法律传奇

ASIC first launched legal proceedings against Block Earner in November 2022, arguing the company needed a financial services license to offer its yield product, which was available from March 17, 2022, until the company shut it down on Nov. 16, 2022.

ASIC于2022年11月首次针对Block收入者提起法律诉讼，认为该公司需要一项金融服务许可来提供其收益产品，该产品可从2022年3月17日开始使用，直到该公司于2022年11月16日将其关闭。

In February 2024, an Australian court initially ruled the fintech firm would need a financial services license to operate its crypto yield-bearing products.

2024年2月，澳大利亚一家法院最初裁定这家金融科技公司将需要金融服务许可来运营其加密货币产量产品。

Another June 2024 ruling in Australia’s Federal Court released Block Earner from any financial penalties because it had “acted honestly” and pursued its legal opinions before launching the products, which ASIC appealed.

2024年6月在澳大利亚联邦法院的另一项裁决释放了任何经济罚款，因为它“诚实地行事”并在推出产品之前提出了法律意见，ASIC提出了上诉。

Block Earner appealed the Federal Court’s decision that it needed a financial services license on July 9, 2024.

Block Carner对联邦法院的裁决提出上诉，即2024年7月9日需要金融服务许可证。
