Swyftx

We caught up with Swyftx partner Jack Jenkins this week in his version of the office, the gym. Tomorrow night, Jack steps into the UFC Octagon in Shanghai, taking on Sean Woodson and representing Australia on the international stage. Greg Oakford sat down with him ahead of the bout to chat about the fight, the preparation behind it and what he’s fighting for when he steps into the Octagon. From all of us at Swyftx, good luck, Jack.

While we don’t play favourites at Swyftx… our fraud team might just be our favourite team this week. It’s Scams Awareness Week, and while the video might be a bit of fun, the message behind it from Calum Y. is an important one. Scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and one of the best ways to protect yourself is to know what to look out for. Taking a few minutes to understand common scam tactics, recognise the warning signs and know what to do if something doesn’t feel right can make a huge difference. So this Scams Awareness Week, take a moment to brush up on your scam knowledge, and remember: if something feels off, stop, check and think before you act. And to our Fraud team, thanks for everything you do behind the scenes to help keep our customers safe. #ScamsAwarenessWeek #ScamAwareness #OnlineSafety #Swyftx

This week on 60 Seconds with Swyftx, our Product Marketing Manager Olivia Balderston covers what leverage actually is, how margin works, and why a small deposit controlling a much larger position cuts both ways. 60 Seconds with Swyftx is our education series, pulling apart one part of the crypto ecosystem at a time.

Swyftx has entered Australia's personal loan market in partnership with Block Earner. Eligible customers can access personal loans collateralised by bitcoin. The insight behind it is straightforward. Most bitcoin holders do not want to sell. Up to 80% of holders globally are HODLers, and locally, buy orders typically outpace sells by two to one in both bear and bull markets. Customers who pre-registered told us the same thing, that selling to fund a one off purchase means giving up a position they intended to keep. Acting Co-CEO Andrea Yuen said: "There is an opportunity to challenge traditional lenders by carving out an advantage in an emerging market."  "As a rule, bitcoin investors have a strong conviction in the asset class and we know a lot of our clients would rather use bitcoin as collateral for a loan than sell it to fund a one-off purchase. Especially in softer market conditions."

Lending criteria, T&C and fees apply. Borrowing against digital assets carries significant risk. Crypto is highly volatile, and sudden price drops will increase your Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR). Crypto-backed loans may have tax consequences, including capital gains tax. Consider obtaining independent tax advice before applying.

Change is constant, and leading through it is rarely straightforward.   From shifting markets and growing global teams to AI changing how work gets done, today’s leaders are navigating a workplace that looks very different from even a few years ago.   That’s why we’re excited to be hosting 'Leading When the Ground Keeps Moving' a SPARK event in Brisbane, in partnership with Dear Thrive.   The evening will bring together leaders with different perspectives to unpack some of the big challenges shaping modern work: navigating change, leading teams through uncertainty, working alongside AI, and building the influence to bring people with you.   Simon Pett, our Head of Engineering, will be joining the panel to share Swyftx’s experience navigating this change, including how our R&D team has grown across global teams, responded to an evolving market and adapted to the growing role of AI. We’re also excited to hear from fellow panellists Rebecca Moulynox from Great Place To Work, Deanne Omar from Flight Centre Travel Group, Francesca Dove, GAICD from elan advisory PTY LTD and Amanda B. from Dear Thrive.   Join us for an evening of practical insights, interesting conversations and the chance to connect with Brisbane’s leadership and tech community.   Keen to join us?
