7th July 2022 | Hong Kong
Crypto exchange Voyager Digital has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, with $1.3 billion assets, $350 million cash & $650 million claim against crypto fund Three Arrows Capital. Voyage Digital: “As part of the reorganization process, the Company will file customary “First Day” motions to allow it to maintain operations in the ordinary course. Voyager intends to pay its employees in the usual manner and continue their primary benefits and certain customer programs without disruption. The Company expects to receive court approval for all these routine requests. Trading, deposits, withdrawals and loyalty rewards on the Voyager platform remain temporarily suspended.” Earlier in July 2022, former Credit Suisse traders $3 billion crypto fund Three Arrows Capital had been ordered into liquidation by a BVI Court (British Virgin Islands), after failing to meet creditors demand for payment including $665 million from Voyager Digital. Three Arrows Capital is founded by 2 former Credit Suisse traders & crypto billionaire Zhu Su (Age 35) and Kyle Davies (Age 35) in 2012 in a kitchen table in their apartment. The fund had over $3 billion worth of cryptocurrencies under management.
“ $1.3 Billion Assets, $350 Million Cash & $650 Million Claim Against Crypto Fund Three Arrows Capital “
Stephen Ehrlich, CEO of Voyage Digital:
“This comprehensive reorganization is the best way to protect assets on the platform and maximize value for all stakeholders, including customers. Voyager’s platform was built to empower investors by providing access to crypto asset trading with simplicity, speed, liquidity, and transparency. While I strongly believe in this future, the prolonged volatility and contagion in the crypto markets over the past few months, and the default of Three Arrows Capital (“3AC”) on a loan from the Company’s subsidiary, Voyager Digital, LLC, require us to take deliberate and decisive action now. The chapter 11 process provides an efficient and equitable mechanism to maximize recovery.”
The Company has over $110 million of cash and owned crypto assets on hand, which will provide liquidity to support day-to-day operations during the Chapter 11 process, in addition to more than $350 million of cash held in the For Benefit of Customers (FBO) account at Metropolitan Commercial Bank. Voyager also has approximately $1.3 billion of crypto assets on its platform, plus claims against Three Arrows Capital (“3AC”) of more than $650 million. Voyager previously announced that its subsidiary, Voyager Digital LLC, issued a notice of default to 3AC for failure to make the required payments on its previously disclosed loan of 15,250 BTC and $350 million USDC. Voyager is actively pursuing all available remedies for recovery from 3AC, including through the court-supervised processes in the British Virgin Islands and New York.
