Why is Voyager crypto trailing? 

Voyager crypto saw a significant decline on Thursday post its disclosure of loans made to the Three Arrows Capital (3AC) fund. The Toronto-based firm reportedly loaned roughly US$350 million worth of the stablecoin USDC along with 15,250 Bitcoin to 3AC.  

Singapore-based 3AC is rumoured to be nearing insolvency after incurring at least US$400 million in liquidations. The company suffered due to the Terra stablecoin collapse in May after investing US$200 million in LUNA tokens in February. But with the disclosure of its loans, Voyager's shares crashed by over 60% and are staring at a possible loss of over US$650 million.

However, the good news could be that Voyager crypto has found a white knight in Sam Bankman-Fried, who has agreed to bail out Voyager along with quasi-bank BlockFi. Last week, Alameda Research and Voyager Digital signed a deal wherein the Bankman-Fried's quantitative research firm would provide US$500 million in financing in a bid to rescue the firm. 

Price performance

The Voyager crypto on Thursday was trading at US$0.443282 with a 24-hour trading volume of US$2,23,98,941, according to CoinMarketCap. The VGX crypto had a live market cap of US $12,34,46,061 and 27,84,82,214 VGX coins in circulation. 

The Voyager crypto before the announcement was on a bearish run and had suffered losses of over 45% in the past 14 days, according to CoinGecko. Today's loss has further dented the market confidence of the investors who would have been hoping for greener days ahead. 

During such gloomy periods, market participants should be prepared for drastic price changes. Therefore, investors must make sure that they do their respective market research and make informed decisions to ensure they don't incur losses.
