"Working as part of the DA family means to me the world, but I also work for the future of my family and I need to focus on this for a while," Mrs. Masters said in an e-mail to the staff who announced his departure.

"My belief in DA, and the potential for DLT is as strong as it has always been." I remain a shareholder, advisor and board member. "

ASX, which holds a 7% stake in Digital Asset, has praised Ms Master's work over the past three years.

"[Ms] Blythe has made a huge contribution to the global progress of distributed ledger technology (DLT) and is a good friend of ASX. We thank you and wish you the best, "said ASX Deputy CEO Peter Hiom.

"ASX remains absolutely loyal to DLT and our partnership with Digital Asset (DA) – our CHESS replacement program is in line with the pace and proceeds at a brisk pace."

ASX announced last year that it will replace CHESS – its system of registration, regulation and compensation – with blockchain technology to reduce costs for customers.

It will make ASX one of the biggest users in the mainstream financial market of this technology which is at the heart of Bitcoin's cryptocurrency.
