对于币圈投资者而言,加密货币一直是他们的忠实信仰,然而随着加密货币经纪商Voyager宣布破产,投资者的信心正在逐渐瓦解。华尔街见闻此前文章提及,在全球第三大稳定币UST暴跌之后,Voyager被对冲基金三箭资本的Margin Call逼入绝境,“币圈央妈”也无力回天。目前,Voyager宣布已经申请破产保护。

有最新消息称,Voyager的客户可能无法拿回所有资金,该平台目前拥有约13亿美元的加密资产,这给近来因币圈重挫而损失惨重的投资者再添一层恐惧。
对于Voyager的客户而言,许多法律问题仍未得到解答,有投资者怀疑自己是否还能拿回投入的资金,并直言道:
我知道投资加密货币会带来风险,不过我从没想过交易平台会崩溃。我现在感觉自己像被抢劫了一样,我不明白这怎么可能是合法的,我不会再把钱投入另一个平台,也不会再相信加密货币了。
此前,加密货币的投资者往往对巨额亏损“不屑一顾”,因为他们认为只要长期持有,价格终有一天会反弹。
然而,对于那些投入了退休储蓄、房屋首付以及应急资金的投资者而言,如今他们可能要面临的是“有去无回”的惨淡结局,这无疑给笃信大型交易平台相对安全的投资者敲响了一记警钟。
受此消极影响,一些谨慎的投资者正在逐渐撤离币圈。对此,FBB Capital Partners的研究主管Mike Bailey表示:
币圈的下行风险是非常残酷的,当投资者遭受此类损失时,会给人一种整个系统已经崩溃的感觉,从而导致他们想要退出。
加密货币近期大跌,尤其是比特币价格从近期的高点短时间内暴跌了约70%,这加剧了币圈相关公司的财务困境。
随着Voyager申请破产,币圈寒冬更为萧瑟,包括Coinbase在内的加密币交易平台正在宣布裁员。
值得注意的是,Celsius Network、Babel Finance以及Vauld这类加密币借贷平台也已经陆续暂停提款。
According to the latest news, Voyager’s customers may not be able to get all their money back, and the platform now has about $1.3 billion in encrypted assets, adding to the fear of investors who have suffered heavy losses as a result of the recent collapse in the currency.
For Voyager clients, many legal questions remain unanswered, and some investors doubt whether they can get their money back and say bluntly:
I knew that investing in cryptocurrencies would be risky, but I never thought the trading platform would collapse. Now I feel like I’ve been robbed. I don’t understand how this can be legal. I won’t put my money into another platform and I won’t trust cryptocurrencies anymore.
Previously, investors in cryptocurrencies tended to “shrug off” huge losses because they thought that as long as they held on for a long time, prices would one day rebound.
However, for those investors who have invested retirement savings, housing down payments and emergency funds, they may now face a dismal outcome of “no return”. This is undoubtedly a wake-up call for investors who believe in the relative safety of large trading platforms.
Affected by this negative impact, some cautious investors are gradually leaving the currency circle. In response, Mike Bailey, head of research at FBB Capital Partners, said:
The downside risks of the currency circle are so cruel that when investors suffer such losses, it gives the impression that the whole system has collapsed, causing them to want to exit.
The cryptocurrency has plummeted recently, especially as the price of bitcoin has plummeted by about 70% from its recent highs, adding to the financial woes of currency-related companies.
With Voyager filing for bankruptcy and a bleak currency winter, encrypted currency trading platforms, including Coinbase, are announcing layoffs.
It is worth noting that cryptocurrency lending platforms such as Celsius Network, Babel Finance and Vauld have also suspended withdrawals.
