Shortly after filing for bankruptcy, embattled cryptocurrency brokerage firm Voyager Digital has reportedly come under scrutiny from the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for claiming that funds were FDIC-insured.
“Through our strategic relationships with our banking partner, Metropolitan Commercial Bank, all customers’ USD held with Voyager is FDIC insured. That means that in the rare event your USD funds are compromised, you are guaranteed a full reimbursement (up to $250,000), so the cash you hold with Voyager is protected.”
“FDIC insurance coverage is available only to protect against the failure of Metropolitan Commercial Bank. FDIC insurance does not protect against the failure of Voyager, any act or omission of Voyager or its employees, or the loss in value of cryptocurrency or other assets.”
