Cryptocurrency lender Voyager Digital Holdings has reported that users will be able to withdraw funds from the app more than a month after suspending trading, deposits, withdrawals, and loyalty rewards.
In a blog post on Friday, Voyager said customers with US dollars in their accounts would be able to withdraw up to $100,000 in a 24-hour period beginning August 11, with funds to be received in 5-10 business days. . The announcement came after a judge ruled Thursday that the crypto lending firm was authorized to return $270 million in customer funds deposited at the Metropolitan Commercial Bank in New York.
“Requests will be processed as quickly as possible, but will require some manual review, including fraud checks and account reconciliation, and timelines will depend, in part, on each of the banks to which customers transfer their money. Voyager said.
Yesterday, the Court approved our proposal to restore access to cash (US dollars) held at Metropolitan Commercial Bank for the benefit of Voyager customers.
We anticipate resuming access to in-app cash withdrawals starting on Thursday, Aug 11. Details: https://t.co/yqsKdJhiXQ (1/7)

The crypto lending firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District Court of New York on July 5, saying at the time that the move was part of a reorganization plan that would eventually allow users to access your accounts again.

Following the court’s approval of the bidding procedures, Voyager said bids must be submitted by August 26 and a hearing on the potential sale will be held on September 8.
