With crypto firms facing liquidation left, right and centre, one particular exchange is proving that fortune really does favour the brave.

Singapore-based Crypto.com is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency platform but had struggled to receive approval from Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
