Voyager is a publicly traded company with headquarters in the US. Second, it is regulated and the holding is secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) backing.

The crypto broker also claims to hold all data in encrypted form to ensure user privacy. The user’s bank account is linked to Voyager by Plaid, which is a fintech solution provider connected with thousands of financial institutions.

Voyager crypto price prediction

As of now, VGX is trading at nearly US$5. On January 1, 2021, the price was mere US$0.16. The price skyrocketed to US$7 by February 21, but this was followed by a long period of slump until mid-July.

Voyager commands a US$1.4 billion market cap, and attributes like an easy brokerage platform to hold cryptos with FDIC-insurance backing can likely lead to growth in Voyager crypto. It is very likely that a sustained bull-run in Voyager can take price in double digits by the end of 2021.

Bottom line

Voyager crypto app is promising due to multiple reasons. One, it allows trading in multiple crypto assets without having to sign up for exchange services. Two, it is a regulated and publicly traded company. And lastly, the native currency VGX can find more tackers with the growth of the platform.
