Local media here in Australia with the report:

  • Australian cryptocurrency exchange Swyftx has announced it will lay off 40 per cent of its workforce
  • due to a worsening downturn in digital asset markets following the collapse of FTX
  • Swyftx chief executive Alex Harper said the layoffs were the company preparing in advance for a “worst-case scenario” of a continued decline in crypto markets next year and more “black swan ” events like FTX

Just for clarity, as these crypto-types tend to be a bit full of it:

  • a crypto 'exchange' is a website
  • when a criminal fraud collapses owing trusting customers billions of $ its not a 'black swan'
