Australian crypto exchange in administration following the FTX collapse

Thousands of customers left in the lurch as an Australian-based crypto exchange goes bust.

As the great crypto crash continues, Digital Surge is officially in administration.

The company’s 30,000 customers all unable to trade or withdraw any money.

But if you are one of these individuals, don’t fret just yet. The company’s directors plan to spend $1 million of their own money to pay off the debts owed.

Administrators KordaMentha have also advised Digital Surge customers returning their funds is the highest priority.

“We fully appreciate the uncertainty the voluntary administration will create. We will proactively and regularly communicate with customers to ensure they are fully informed on the progress of the administration,” KordaMentha’s Scott Langdon said.

The trading platform was set up in 2017 and gave users access to over 300 different digital currencies.

Its demise has been directly linked to the collapse of global crypto exchange FTX. The $32 billion platform filed for bankruptcy amid claims it was being poorly managed.

Digital Surge had been leaning on FTX for some of its trading – and they’re not alone.

Brisbane-based Swyftx also laying off 35 per cent of its staff.

Swyftx CEOs, Alex Harper and Angus Goldman, informed workers of the “difficult decision” during at a company-wide town hall.

It’s unlikely it will end there as the market readjusts to a world without Sam Bankman-Fried’s brainchild.

Nasdaq drops 1.84% amid turbulent week; investors pivot to cyclical and value sectors from high-growth tech.

U.S. equity markets wrapped up a turbulent week with mixed results. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.84%, marking its worst week for large-cap technology stocks since November, while the S&P 500 remained largely unchanged. Investors are weighing concerns about artificial intelligence and potential overinvestment in high-growth areas.

Meanwhile, smaller-cap and value-oriented stocks continued to add to their year-to-date gains. Market participants rotated into cyclical sectors that had lagged, reflecting a shift in investor sentiment and appetite for risk outside the traditional tech heavyweights.

Analysts say this rotation highlights the broader market’s evolving dynamics, as growth concerns collide with opportunities in underappreciated areas. Stay tuned for further developments as the market digests these trends.
