TL;DR Breakdown

  • TrigonX, an Australian crypto exchange that collapsed with significant debts, is poised for a revival after creditors approved a deed of company arrangement.
  • The collapse of FTX in November 2022 had a cascading effect on numerous digital asset exchanges, including TrigonX, which was unable to meet withdrawal demands.
  • The revival of TrigonX signals a potential recovery for the exchange and offers a glimpse of resilience within the Australian crypto industry.

TrigonX, an Australian crypto exchange that collapsed in December 2022 with significant debts exceeding $50 million, is poised for a revival after creditors approved a deed of company arrangement. Matteo Salerno, the company director, stated that relaunching the exchange under this arrangement would provide a more favorable outcome for creditors compared to liquidation.

The collapse of FTX in November 2022 had a cascading effect on numerous digital asset exchanges, including TrigonX, which was unable to meet withdrawal demands and subsequently appointed administrators on December 16, 2022. A report by legal firm Kroll revealed that TrigonX’s failure was influenced by multiple factors, including the collapse of FTX and legal action taken by customers seeking the return of their funds.

Salerno clarified that certain payments made to himself and his wife, which were scrutinized in the Kroll report, were intended to update employee entitlements in anticipation of the company’s pending sale. The aim of the receivership was to achieve an expedient outcome that benefits the creditors, as liquidation would have tied up funds for an extended period, leading to a substantial depletion of available distributions.

TrigonX revival

Among TrigonX’s creditors is Sydney-based investor King River Capital, which is seeking to recover $9 million that was not authorized for trading with FTX at the time, as reported by the Australian Financial Review in April.

The case of TrigonX follows the near-collapse of another Australian crypto exchange, Digital Surge, which narrowly avoided financial ruin in the aftermath of the FTX meltdown. In January, Digital Surge creditors approved a five-year bailout plan, allowing the exchange to continue operating.

The revival of TrigonX signals a potential recovery for the exchange and offers a glimpse of resilience within the Australian crypto industry. As regulatory oversight and investor protection measures continue to evolve, exchanges are working to navigate challenges, learn from past incidents, and provide a more secure trading environment for cryptocurrency users in Australia.

China, seeking to capitalize on the shifting dynamics of the global financial system, is leveraging every opportunity to whittle away at the dollar’s long-held supremacy. Bypassing the Dollar’s Grip Argentina’s recent decision to make a payment to the IMF in renminbi rather than dollars offers a glimpse into the changing undercurrents of global finance.

  • US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen anticipates slow decline in Dollar’s reserve currency status

    TL;DR Breakdown U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen believes the dollar’s global reserve share will gradually decline, but no alternatives can fully replace it due to unique strengths like deep financial markets and strong rule of law. Yellen acknowledged that U.S. sanctions have prompted countries to explore currency alternatives, but no meaningful workaround to the dollar as a reserve currency exists. While diversification in reserve assets is expected over time, the dollar remains the dominant reserve currency, and meaningful alternatives are unlikely despite de-dollarization efforts. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, during a House Financial Services Committee hearing, stated that while the US should expect a gradual decline in the dollar’s share of global reserves, there are no viable alternatives that can completely replace the greenback. Yellen highlighted the fundamental reasons behind the dollar’s prominent role in the global financial system, such as deep and liquid financial markets, a strong rule of law, and the absence of capital controls. She acknowledged that the use of US sanctions has prompted some countries to seek currency alternatives but stressed the difficulty of finding a…
