Crypto broker Voyager Digital (NYSE: VYGVF) announced that it would temporarily suspend all trading, deposits, withdrawals and loyalty rewards, effective as of 2 PM ET.
The company said that the Voyager-issued debit card would stop working for owners, according to a statement released Friday afternoon.
“This was a tremendously difficult decision, but we believe it is the right one given current market conditions,” said Stephen Ehrlich, CEO of lending company Voyager.

The news comes a few days after one of Voyager’s customers failed to make payments on a loan worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Voyager’s competitor BlockFi, has also been caught in the crosshairs of the sector’s recent liquidity crunch.
