What is Voyager Digital and Why did it file for Bankruptcy?
Voyager Digital, in its filing (PDF), revealed that it owed FTX founder, Sam Bankman-Fried’s Alameda Research $75 million and approximately $960,000 to Google. Alameda Research provided Voyager a lifeline of $485 million at the time of filing along with other creditors. The platform was created to offer investors access to crypto asset trading with speed, simplicity, liquidity, and transparency. However, due to the ongoing volatility and contagion in the crypto markets and the default of Three Arrows Capital on a loan from its subsidiary, Voyager Digital LLC, the CEO of Voyager, Stephen Ehrlich, stated in a press release that they must take swift and deliberate action.
Conclusion
Millions of Voyager customers lost their crypto custody and customers are unsure if they will ever see the money back in any form. The last hope was Binance.US and Voyager merger which doesn’t appear to see light due to regulators blocking them. In midst of all these, Voyager still performs transactions while its customers who had crypto in the platform are in no man’s land.
