Digger is an Australian athlete asset exchange focused on MMA and UFC fighters. Founded by Hugh Ford in Toowoomba, Queensland, the platform gives each participating athlete a tradable digital token designed to reflect the highs and lows of their career. Fans can buy, hold and sell tokens, creating a way to back fighters beyond merchandise or individual fight betting. Digger’s working exchange is in closed beta, with live markets, portfolio tracking and trading features presented in Australian dollars.

Athletes are assigned a launch tier, from Bronze to Diamond, based on profile and achievements. Token trades are priced through an automated market maker, providing live quotes and liquidity without an order book. Users can fund a Digger wallet from a bank account, trade around the clock and withdraw Australian dollars. The platform highlights performance-linked pricing, transparent trade costs and a cryptographically auditable transaction ledger. Digger says it is prioritising compliance in Queensland and is working toward an Australian financial services licence ahead of launch.
