Investors mourn impending losses after Voyager files for bankruptcy

 


Crypto investors big and small are licking their wounds after crypto exchange Voyager Digital recently filed for bankruptcy. The affected users are now threatened with considerable losses.


As previously reported, Voyager had granted a USD 650 million loan to the crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC), which has run into massive difficulties due to the ongoing crisis in the crypto market and can no longer pay its liabilities . Although Voyager Digital organized a loan for itself in June to compensate for the lack of money, the trading platform surprisingly filed for bankruptcy on July 6th .


Investors must bleed

In a recent report on July 9, Fortune highlighted the consequences of these developments for crypto investors of all sizes.


An anonymous private investor, for example, states that he has almost all of his family's savings - an amount in the six-figure range - on Voyager. These funds are now threatened with total loss.


"I could cry every day," said the anonymous investor. He adds: "I don't even know how to explain this to my wife. We invested our savings in Voyager together because she trusted me to make the right decision.”


As a crypto investor with six years of experience, the person concerned was actually certain after his own research that he could use Voyager without hesitation. He was not aware that the trading platform was lending crypto assets to third parties in the background:


“I didn't know Voyager lent customer money to a hedge fund. If I had known that, I would have been better off leaving my money in the safe at home.”

Not only naive small investors are affected

The crypto influencer Scott Melker, known in the community as The Wolf Of All Streets, is also one of the potential victims of the Voyager bankruptcy, although his losses are far higher.

"I would lose several millions," Melker told Fortune. However, the damage to reputation and the bad conscience of having recommended the crypto exchange to followers, friends and family members are more serious for the influencer than the possible financial damage:

“I realize that everyone is responsible for their own choices, but many might not have chosen Voyager if I hadn't promoted it. To be honest, that's worse than lost money for me."

After all, the crypto trading platform is far from giving up the fight; on the contrary, filing for bankruptcy is intended to be a first strategic step in order to be able to maintain operations and protect the assets of investors. The latter should be compensated in any case, but it is unclear to what extent this will succeed.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
