The newly merged Block, formerly Jack Dorsey’s Square (SQ), and buy now pay later firm Afterpay is expected to begin trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) later this month, marking a major first in the bourse’s history to list a cryptocurrency-related company.
Following Square’s rebranding to Block Inc in December, the financial-services company announced last Friday it had bought Australia’s Afterpay and had concluded a month-long delay for approval by the Bank of Spain on Wednesday.
