The US-based crypto broker – Voyager Digital Ltd made an official announcement on their Twitter handle; notifying users of the new update the company was making concerning trading and withdrawal of funds.
The reason behind such actions is due to the recent market downward trend. With Bitcoin ad other Altcoins going below 50% and significant crypto companies crashing; taking drastic and unethical measures was the company’s only alternative.
“This was a tremendously difficult decision, but we believe it is the right one given current market conditions” – words from the chief executive officer; Stephen Ehrlich.
He also added that the decision the company has taken would give them extra time to plan and strategize a better alternative while still preserving the value of the Voyager platform.

Voyager suffered a drop of 43% in US trading after the news was given; placing it as one of the worst-performing crypto stocks. Aside dropping in stock value; Voyager is also dealing with the $675 million bad debts it incurred with Three Arrow Capital.
