Voyager is one of the many crypto companies, as headlined across crypto news, that suffered a fatal blow as a result of the crypto winter and broader market contagion, a scenario many industry experts noted would spell doom for projects built on “cheap money.”.

According to Voyager’s counsel and as filed yesterday, the auction will start at 10 am ET on 13 September (Tuesday next week). Once the bidding is done, a hearing on the results will be held on 29 September.
Voyager filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy as part of its restructuring process on 5 July.
