Financial services technology company FinClear’s acquisition of Pershing Australia from Bank of New York Mellon (BNYM) has been welcomed by cannabis stocks as it will allow the trading of cannabis securities on the ASX with immediate effect.

Those impacted included AusCann, Cann Group, CannPal, Creso Pharma, MGC Pharmaceuticals and MMJ Group.
