Crypto brokerage Voyager Digital (VOYG.TO) has issued a notice of default to Three Arrows Capital (3AC) after the beleaguered hedge fund failed to make the required payments on its loans of 15,250 bitcoins and $350 million in USDC, worth about $670 million at current prices.
- Voyager also announced it has drawn down $75 million of the emergency $200 million cash and USDC credit line provided by Alameda Ventures. That facility also included a revolver of 15,000 bitcoins (BTC).
- As of Monday morning, the company has $137 million of cash and crypto assets on hand. The exchange has also retained investment banker Moelis & Co. as a financial adviser.
- Voyager's share price plunged more than 60% last week after it disclosed it had exposure to 3AC, which had previously said that it had suffered heavy losses from the sharp downturn in the crypto market.
- "We are working diligently and expeditiously to strengthen our balance sheet and pursuing options so we can continue to meet customer liquidity demands," CEO Stephen Ehrlich said.

Specialized AI detects 92% of real-world DeFi exploits
New research claims specialized AI dramatically outperforms general-purpose models at detecting exploited DeFi vulnerabilities.
What to know:
- A purpose-built AI security agent detected vulnerabilities in 92% of 90 exploited DeFi contracts ($96.8 million in exploit value), compared with 34% and $7.5 million for a baseline GPT-5.1-based coding agent running on the same underlying model.
- The gap came from domain-specific security methodology layered on top of the model, not differences in core AI capability, according to the report.
- The findings come as prior research from Anthropic and OpenAI shows AI agents can execute end-to-end smart contract exploits at low cost, accelerating concerns that offensive AI capabilities are scaling faster than defensive adoption.
