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."
Fiscal Year 2021 Financial and Business Milestones:
- Total revenue increased to $175
million, from $1 million in
FY20
- Operating Income of $56 million,
compared to an Operating Loss of $11
million in FY20
- Total Verified Users grew to 1.75 million, up from 86,000 at
June 30, 2020
- Total Funded Accounts grew to 665,000 from 23,000 at
June 30, 2020
- Total Assets Under Management grew to $2.6 billion from $35
million at June 30, 2020
- Added to our leadership team in key areas
- Increased our headcount to 141 at June
30, 2021, from 36 at June 30,
2020
- Invested in and developed a strategic partnership with
Blockdaemon to deliver enhanced staking capabilities
"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."
Voyager will be announcing the results of its first quarter
ending September 30th on or about
November 15th, and will provide
further commentary on its second quarter ending December 31st based on current trends and a very
robust October which validates its strategy of total focus on
account and deposit growth.
For more detailed information, the Company encourages investors
to read its audited financial statements and related Management
Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") for the three and twelve
months ended June 30, 2021, which
were filed with SEDAR yesterday.

with Alameda Research announced on October

Forward Looking Statements
Certain information in
this press release, including, but not limited to, statements
regarding future growth and performance of the business, momentum
in the businesses, future adoption of digital assets, and the
Company's anticipated results may constitute forward looking
information (collectively, forward-looking statements), which can
be identified by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "should,"
"expect," "anticipate," "project," "estimate," "intend," "continue"
or "believe" (or the negatives) or other similar variations.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause Voyager's actual
results, performance or achievements to be materially different
from any of its future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Moreover, we
operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New
risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our
management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of
all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements
we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and
assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this press
release may not occur and actual results could differ materially
and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the
forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are subject
to the risk that the global economy, industry, or the Company's
businesses and investments do not perform as anticipated, that
revenue or expenses estimates may not be met or may be materially
less or more than those anticipated, that trading momentum does not
continue or the demand for trading solutions declines, customer
acquisition does not increase as planned, product and international
expansion do not occur as planned, risks of compliance with laws
and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to the
business and those other risks contained in the Company's public
filings, including in its Management Discussion and Analysis and
its Annual Information Form (AIF). Factors that could cause actual
results of the Company and its businesses to differ materially from
those described in such forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, a decline in the digital asset market or general
economic conditions; changes in laws or approaches to regulation,
the failure or delay in the adoption of digital assets and the
blockchain ecosystem by institutions; changes in the volatility of
crypto currency, changes in demand for Bitcoin and Ethereum,
changes in the status or classification of cryptocurrency assets,
cybersecurity breaches, a delay or failure in developing
infrastructure for the trading businesses or achieving mandates and
gaining traction; failure to grow assets under management, an
adverse development with respect to an issuer or party to the
transaction or failure to obtain a required regulatory approval. In
connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this
press release, the Company has made assumptions that no significant
events occur outside of the Company's normal course of business and
that current trends in respect of digital assets continue. Readers
are cautioned that Assets Under Management and trading volumes
fluctuate and may increase and decrease from time to time and that
such fluctuations are beyond the Company's control. Forward-looking
statements, past and present performance and trends are not
guarantees of future performance, accordingly, you should not put
undue reliance on forward-looking statements, current or past
performance, or current or past trends. Information identifying
assumptions, risks, and uncertainties relating to the Company are
contained in its filings with the Canadian securities regulators
available at www.sedar.com. The forward-looking statements in
this press release are applicable only as of the date of this
release or as of the date specified in the relevant forward-looking
statement and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after
that date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The
Company assumes no obligation to provide operational updates,
except as required by law. If the Company does update one or more
forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it
will make additional updates with respect to those or other
forward-looking statements, unless required by law. Readers
are cautioned that past performance is not indicative of future
performance and current trends in the business and demand for
digital assets may not continue and readers should not put undue
reliance on past performance and current trends. Refer to
definition of certain Non-IFRS terms in Management's Discussion and
Analysis including Assets Under Management, Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted Working Capital. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless
