Bankrupt crypto lender Voyager is sending large amounts of crypto assets to Coinbase as the firm continues to deal with its distressed balance sheet.

According to blockchain intelligence firm Arkham, Voyager has been selling roughly nine figures worth of its assets each week.

Among Voyager’s biggest holdings are Ethereum (ETH), USDC, and Shiba Inu (SHIB).

Arkham’s data shows 300 billion SHIB worth about $3.85 million flowing out of Voyager’s wallet and into Coinbase, presumably to sell.

“Voyager continuing to sell assets at a rate of around $100M/week.

“Here are the assets transferred from Voyager to Coinbase since Feb 14th.

  • 2.24 trillion SHIB ($28 million)
  • 15,635 ETH ($25 million)
  • 28.5 million VGX ($12.85 million)
  • 640,000 LINK ($4.74 million)
  • 7.75 million OCEAN ($3 million)

  • 3.26 million MANA ($2.15 million)
  • 4 million ENJ ($1.88 million)

Voyager filed for bankruptcy in July of 2022, citing the failure of former crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital to pay $650 million in loans.

The firm was ultimately acquired by Binance.US late last year in a $1 billion deal.

At time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.0000124, down 3% on the day.
