TORONTO: Crypto mining firms listed in Toronto expect more turmoil and a lingering crisis of confidence in digital assets after the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX.

Bitcoin dropped as low as US$15,804 (RM72,642) on Monday and has lost nearly a quarter of its value since Nov 5, shortly before FTX began to unravel.
