NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 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, 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."

"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."
