Voyager to enable AVAX token transfers and staking, increasing crypto utility and wealth-building choices for Voyager customers

Voyager Digital Ltd. (“Voyager” or the “Company”) (TSX: VOYG) (OTCQX: VYGVF) (FRA: UCD2), one of the fastest-growing, publicly traded cryptocurrency platforms in the United States, is integrating with Avalanche to include transfers and staking of AVAX into its brokerage platform. The expansion also entails a cross-ecosystem development effort of the Voyager platform and select Avalanche-based DeFi and NFT applications.

Avalanche is the fastest smart contracts platform in the blockchain industry, as measured by time-to-finality. Ethereum developers can quickly and easily build on Avalanche to create powerful, reliable, and secure applications. Voyager’s initiative with Avalanche includes the development of Avalanche staking and transfer capabilities for Voyager customers. It will also give Voyager customers access to decentralized finance tools, NFTs, and decentralized applications in the Voyager ecosystem, developed on the Avalanche public blockchain (AVAX).

“By building out a wide range of new Avalanche capabilities on the Voyager platform, we are creating more wealth-building tools for our customers, including the ability to transfer and stake AVAX, Avalanche’s native token, to earn rewards,” said Steve Ehrlich, CEO and Co-founder of Voyager. “We’re also looking to increase DeFi and NFT functionalities on our platform through Avalanche’s high-performing technology, which instantly processes thousands of transactions within a second. We’re excited for this collaboration and can’t wait to roll out joint products on our platform.”

“We’re thrilled to be working with Voyager and its innovative team to expand products and services related to the Avalanche platform,” said John Nahas, Vice President of Business Development at Ava Labs. “By enabling individuals to earn rewards on staked AVAX, deposit and withdraw AVAX, and easily access Avalanche DeFi and NFT products on the Voyager app, Voyager is allowing its users to tap into the rapidly growing Avalanche DeFi ecosystem directly from its trusted platform.”

Why the Metaverse Matters

What is the Metaverse?

 

Two Media and Information Experts Explain

The metaverse is a network of always-on virtual environments in which many people can interact with one another and digital objects while operating virtual representations – or avatars – of themselves. Think of a combination of immersive virtual reality, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game and the web.

The metaverse is a concept from science fiction that many people in the technology industry envision as the successor to today’s internet. It’s only a vision at this point, but technology companies like Facebook are aiming to make it the setting for many online activities, including work, play, studying and shopping. Facebook is so sold on the concept that it is renaming itself Meta to highlight its push to dominate the metaverse.

 

This article was republished with permission from The Conversation, a news site dedicated to sharing ideas from academic experts. It was written by and represents the research-based opinions of Rabindra Ratan, Associate Professor of Media and Information, Michigan State University and Yiming Lei, Doctoral student in Media and Information, Michigan State University.

 

Metaverse is a portmanteau of meta, meaning transcendent, and verse, from universe. Sci-fi novelist Neal Stephenson coined the term in his 1992 novel “Snow Crash” to describe the virtual world in which the protagonist, Hiro Protagonist, socializes, shops and vanquishes real-world enemies through his avatar. The concept predates “Snow Crash” and was popularized as “cyberspace” in William Gibson’s groundbreaking 1984 novel “Neuromancer.”

There are three key aspects of the metaverse: presence, interoperability and standardization.

Presence is the feeling of actually being in a virtual space, with virtual others. Decades of research have shown that this sense of embodiment improves the quality of online interactions. This sense of presence is achieved through virtual reality technologies such as head-mounted displays.

Interoperability means being able to seamlessly travel between virtual spaces with the same virtual assets, such as avatars and digital items. ReadyPlayerMe allows people to create an avatar that they can use in hundreds of different virtual worlds, including in Zoom meetings through apps like Animaze. Meanwhile, blockchain technologies such as cryptocurrencies and nonfungible tokens facilitate the transfer of digital goods across virtual borders.

Standardization is what enables interoperability of platforms and services across the metaverse. As with all mass-media technologies – from the printing press to texting – common technological standards are essential for widespread adoption. International organizations such as the Open Metaverse Interoperability Group define these standards.

 

Why the Metaverse
Matters

If the metaverse does become the successor to the internet, who builds it, and how, is extremely important to the future of the economy and society as a whole. Facebook is aiming to play a leading role in shaping the metaverse, in part by investing heavily in virtual reality. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg explained in an interview his view that the metaverse spans nonimmersive platforms like today’s social media as well as immersive 3D media technologies such as virtual reality, and that it will be for work as well as play.

 

Hollywood has embraced the metaverse in movies like ‘Ready Player One.’

The metaverse might one day resemble the flashy fictional Oasis of Ernest Cline’s “Ready Player One,” but until then you can turn to games like Fortnite and Roblox, virtual reality social media platforms like VRChat and AltspaceVR, and virtual work environments like Immersed for a taste of the immersive and connected metaverse experience. As these siloed spaces converge and become increasingly interoperable, watch for a truly singular metaverse to emerge.

Voyager Digital (VYGVF)(VOYG:CA) – Strategic Investment from Alameda Research

Friday, October 29, 2021

Voyager Digital (VYGVF)(VOYG:CA)
Strategic Investment from Alameda Research

Voyager Digital Ltd through its subsidiary, operates as a crypto asset broker that provides retail and institutional investors with a turnkey solution to trade crypto assets.

    Strategic Alliance. Yesterday, Voyager announced a strategic alliance with Alameda Research, one of the largest crypto market makers in the world. Alameda purchased $75 million of VGYVF common shares in a private placement of about 7.7 million shares. The additional investment will enable Voyager to continue to grow its business, in our view.

    Why Important? Outside of the additional capital, the Alameda investment is a coup for Voyager, in our view.  Alameda was founded by Sam Bankman-Fried, the crypto wunderkind, with a net worth estimated at north of $22 billion. Immediate opportunity exists on the order flow and asset management front, with longer term potential in such markets as NFTs and crypto derivatives. Alameda trades over …

Release – Voyager Digital Reports Revenue of US$175 Million for Fiscal 2021 and Provides Business Update

 


Voyager Digital Reports Revenue of US$175 Million for Fiscal 2021 and Provides Business Update

 

Voyager Digital Ltd. (“Voyager” or the “Company”) (TSX: VOYG; OTCQX: VYGVF; FRA: UCD2), one of the fastest-growing, publicly traded cryptocurrency platforms in the United States, today announced it has filed its full-year consolidated financials for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 and is pleased to provide shareholders with a business and operational update.
 
“Fiscal 2021 was a breakout year for Voyager, positioning our platform to be a leading player in the digital asset arena as crypto and related blockchain technologies are increasingly embraced by the mainstream,” said Steve Ehrlich, Voyager’s CEO and Co-founder. “Voyager continues to deliver noteworthy performance through verified user and funded account growth punctuated by providing users with a transparent, safe, secure and trusted personal cryptocurrency platform. We continued to see significant net new funded accounts and net new asset inflows on the platform and as we add more product extensions, we believe the ability to leverage our growing user base will accelerate our revenue growth and provide diversification to our revenue mix.”
 
Fiscal Year 2021 Financial and Business Milestones:
All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

  • Total revenue increased to $175 million, from $1 million in FY20
  • Operating Income of $56 million, compared to an Operating Loss of $11 million in FY20
  • Total Verified Users grew to 1.75 million, up from 86,000 at June 30, 2020
  • Total Funded Accounts grew to 665,000 from 23,000 at June 30, 2020
  • Total Assets Under Management grew to $2.6 billion from $35 million at June 30, 2020
  • Added to our leadership team in key areas
  • Increased our headcount to 141 at June 30, 2021, from 36 at June 30, 2020
  • Invested in and developed a strategic partnership with Blockdaemon to deliver enhanced staking capabilities

 
“We are seeing industry volumes rebound off extreme midsummer weakness, and are excited about the prospects ahead,” continued Ehrlich. “As we started to see lower than expected volumes in the summer months, we turned our attention to enhancing our rewards programs as a customer acquisition and retention tool. In the September quarter, we started focusing on account acquisition as our key performance metric.  Voyager remains dedicated to growth in funded accounts and deposits and you can expect we will be more aggressive with both our marketing spend as well as our rewards offerings to accelerate growth. As we diversify our revenue streams to enhance the long-term value of each customer and expand our market opportunity internationally, we believe the best is yet to come for the Voyager platform.”
 
Voyager will be announcing the results of its first quarter ending September 30th on or about November 15th, and will provide further commentary on its second quarter ending December 31st based on current trends and a very robust October which validates its strategy of total focus on account and deposit growth.
 
For more detailed information, the Company encourages investors to read its audited financial statements and related Management Discussion & Analysis (“MD&A”) for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2021, which were filed with SEDAR yesterday.
 
The Company also wishes to provide an update on the US$75 million Private Placement of common shares with Alameda Research announced on October 28, 2021. The Company is issuing a total of 7,723,996 common shares to Alameda Research at a price of US$9.71 per common shares. The newly issued shares are subject to a statutory hold period of 4 months and one day from the date of closing and are subject to a lock-up agreement of one year from the closing date.
 
The TSX has not approved or disapproved of the information contained herein. The Private Placement with Alameda Research is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Voyager Digital Reports Revenue of US$175 Million for Fiscal 2021 and Provides Business Update

 


Voyager Digital Reports Revenue of US$175 Million for Fiscal 2021 and Provides Business Update

 

Voyager Digital Ltd. (“Voyager” or the “Company”) (TSX: VOYG; OTCQX: VYGVF; FRA: UCD2), one of the fastest-growing, publicly traded cryptocurrency platforms in the United States, today announced it has filed its full-year consolidated financials for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 and is pleased to provide shareholders with a business and operational update.
 
“Fiscal 2021 was a breakout year for Voyager, positioning our platform to be a leading player in the digital asset arena as crypto and related blockchain technologies are increasingly embraced by the mainstream,” said Steve Ehrlich, Voyager’s CEO and Co-founder. “Voyager continues to deliver noteworthy performance through verified user and funded account growth punctuated by providing users with a transparent, safe, secure and trusted personal cryptocurrency platform. We continued to see significant net new funded accounts and net new asset inflows on the platform and as we add more product extensions, we believe the ability to leverage our growing user base will accelerate our revenue growth and provide diversification to our revenue mix.”
 
Fiscal Year 2021 Financial and Business Milestones:
All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

  • Total revenue increased to $175 million, from $1 million in FY20
  • Operating Income of $56 million, compared to an Operating Loss of $11 million in FY20
  • Total Verified Users grew to 1.75 million, up from 86,000 at June 30, 2020
  • Total Funded Accounts grew to 665,000 from 23,000 at June 30, 2020
  • Total Assets Under Management grew to $2.6 billion from $35 million at June 30, 2020
  • Added to our leadership team in key areas
  • Increased our headcount to 141 at June 30, 2021, from 36 at June 30, 2020
  • Invested in and developed a strategic partnership with Blockdaemon to deliver enhanced staking capabilities

 
“We are seeing industry volumes rebound off extreme midsummer weakness, and are excited about the prospects ahead,” continued Ehrlich. “As we started to see lower than expected volumes in the summer months, we turned our attention to enhancing our rewards programs as a customer acquisition and retention tool. In the September quarter, we started focusing on account acquisition as our key performance metric.  Voyager remains dedicated to growth in funded accounts and deposits and you can expect we will be more aggressive with both our marketing spend as well as our rewards offerings to accelerate growth. As we diversify our revenue streams to enhance the long-term value of each customer and expand our market opportunity internationally, we believe the best is yet to come for the Voyager platform.”
 
Voyager will be announcing the results of its first quarter ending September 30th on or about November 15th, and will provide further commentary on its second quarter ending December 31st based on current trends and a very robust October which validates its strategy of total focus on account and deposit growth.
 
For more detailed information, the Company encourages investors to read its audited financial statements and related Management Discussion & Analysis (“MD&A”) for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2021, which were filed with SEDAR yesterday.
 
The Company also wishes to provide an update on the US$75 million Private Placement of common shares with Alameda Research announced on October 28, 2021. The Company is issuing a total of 7,723,996 common shares to Alameda Research at a price of US$9.71 per common shares. The newly issued shares are subject to a statutory hold period of 4 months and one day from the date of closing and are subject to a lock-up agreement of one year from the closing date.
 
The TSX has not approved or disapproved of the information contained herein. The Private Placement with Alameda Research is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

“We are excited to enter into a strategic alliance with Alameda, a clear pioneer in the crypto industry,” said Steve Ehrlich, CEO and Co-founder of Voyager. “Alameda is one of the largest crypto market makers in the world, and we believe there are significant opportunities in working together. While the immediate opportunity is on the order flow and asset management front, we are tremendously excited about potential future synergistic opportunities in the continuously evolving crypto industry. These opportunities include NFTs and crypto derivatives through Alameda, as well as the creation of thought leadership as we work with lawmakers on shaping regulation.”

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Voyager as they have emerged as a key player in the retail crypto market,” commented Caroline Ellison, Co-CEO of Alameda. “As a public company, we have admired Voyager’s transparency in the industry and believe the management team has laid the groundwork to succeed at scale as evidenced by their explosive growth this past year. Through our strategic partnership, we believe there are endless mutually beneficial opportunities to grow both our businesses.”

Alameda Research trades over $5 billion per day across thousands of products including all major coins and altcoins, as well as their derivatives. Alameda has a full-scale global operation with the ability to trade on all major exchanges and markets. Alameda’s market making abilities and sophisticated market neutral algorithms are a perfect fit to be a core lending partner of Voyager and will allow Voyager to further expand the breadth of its rewards program.

Voyager Digital Becomes the Official Cryptocurrency Brokerage Partner of the Dallas Mavericks

 

 

Voyager is the first international partner of the Dallas Mavericks, joining forces to make crypto more accessible for all

NEW YORKOct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Voyager Digital Ltd. (“Voyager” or the “Company”) (TSX: VOYG) (OTCQX: VYGVF) (FRA: UCD2), one of the fastest-growing, publicly traded cryptocurrency platforms in the United States, has entered into a five-year exclusive, integrated partnership with the Dallas Mavericks, becoming the team’s first cryptocurrency brokerage and international partner. A press conference will be hosted in Dallas today at 4:00 p.m. Central Time to discuss the partnership. To watch, please visit: https://www.mavs.com/voyager/.

Voyager and the Dallas Mavericks will work to make cryptocurrency more accessible through educational and community programs, global activations, and fan engagement promotions. The partnership also includes naming rights to the Mavs Gaming Hub, the official gaming and event venue for the Mavs NBA 2K League team, and will be announced at a later date.

This partnership makes Voyager the first international partner of the Dallas Mavericks, enabling both parties to reach a wider, global audience to raise brand awareness and drive cryptocurrency adoption around the world. In 2019, the NBA granted teams the ability to provide international sponsorship rights, outside the United States and Canada.

“The Mavs are proud to welcome Voyager to the Dallas Mavericks family,” said Mavs governor Mark Cuban. “Crypto assets and applications are changing how business and personal finance are done. We believe our partnership with Voyager will allow Mavs and NBA fans to learn more about Voyager and how they can earn more from Voyagers’ platform than from traditional financial applications.”
