British Crypto Firm Ziglu Collapses Amid £2M Shortfall and Frozen User Funds
Ziglu, a UK-based crypto fintech once valued at £126 million, has entered special administration after revealing a £2 million black hole in its finances. The platform, known for offering market-beating interest rates, suspended withdrawals in May following intervention by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Court documents allege directors misused customer funds from Ziglu's Boost Product—a high-yield investment offering—to prop up operations. Approximately 20,000 users remain unable to access their capital as administrators untangle the firm's finances. The collapse underscores ongoing challenges in crypto-native banking ventures.
