Swyftx Expands to New Zealand
Australian crypto broker Swyftx is acquiring New Zealand-based Easy Crypto, with the deal set to finalize by March 31. The merger will create a combined workforce of nearly 200 employees based in Brisbane.
Trump’s Crypto Policies Seen as a Boost
Swyftx CEO Jason Titman cited “Trump’s policy messaging around crypto” as a positive factor influencing the acquisition. The regulatory landscape in the U.S. is shifting, which could create favorable conditions for crypto businesses globally.
Building a Stronger Regional Presence
Despite the acquisition, both platforms will operate separately while integration strategies are developed. Easy Crypto CEO Janine Grainger called the merger a “natural fit,” aiming to challenge major crypto players in the Oceania region.
Crypto Consolidation Continues
This move highlights a broader trend of consolidation in the crypto sector as firms position themselves for regulatory changes and growing mainstream adoption.
