Crypto-lender Voyager Digital said Friday it plans to "restore access" to cash deposits on Aug. 11, the company's first step in returning up to $270 million in fiat currency to its customers.
The plan comes after Voyager, which is going through bankruptcy proceedings, gained court approval Thursday to honor customers' dollar withdrawal requests from Metropolitan Commercial Bank, where Voyager had a deposit account. In a blog post, Voyager said it could take 5 to 10 days to process return requests.

Voyager, which is helmed by CEO Steve Ehrlich, filed in July for bankruptcy protection after suffering massive losses stemming from the implosion of crypto hedge-fund Three Arrows Capital and the broader crypto-market downturn. Its customers had lent it billions of dollars in crypto assets. Those tokens remained locked up for now.
In the blog post, Voyager said it is "pursuing a standalone restructuring process" in an effort to "maximize the value of crypto on the platform."

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
