Perspective
In June 2022, Voyager Digital announced that Three Arrows Capital had not repaid loans totaling $666 Million.[2]
On July 1, the company suspended “trading, deposits, withdrawals and loyalty rewards”[3] and subsequently on July 5, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[4]
Later in July, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC in a joint letter ordered the company to cease and desist from making false and misleading statements.[5]
In August, the company received approval from a judge to return $270 million in customer cash, which was locked up after the company’s bankruptcy filing in July. The money accounted for only a small portion of total investor funds.[6]
In September, Binance and FTX both made nearly $50 million bids for the company.[7] FTX would win the auction with a nearly $50 million bid.[8][9] In November, FTX filed for bankruptcy and Voyager Digital had to find a new buyer.[10] A major investor in Voyager said that the collapse of FTX puts into jeopardy the company's bailout, with $1.3 billion of investor assets threatened.[11] Following the bankruptcy of FTX, the US subsidiary of Binance won the bid to buy the assets of Voyager for approximately $1 billion in December 2022.[12] The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a limited objection to Binance US's proposed $1 billion acquisition of bankrupt cryptocurrency lender Voyager Digital, a bankruptcy court filing showed in January 2023.[13]
