An Australian cryptocurrency investor has lost US$267 million after failing to secure funding for his Silicon Valley-based blockchain start-up as the digital currency market remains in a knockout.

Michael Dunworth, the co-founder of Wyre, said he was dealt a heavy blow by the news last week that US online checkout company Bolt Financial Inc scrapped the $1.5 billion deal with his company.
