Voyager Digital issues Notice of Default to Three Arrows Capital

Voyager Digital issued a default notice to Three Arrows Capital (3AC), a crypto hedge, fund today.

This is after 3AC failed to meet the deadline that Voyager had announced last week for their loan repayment. 3AC currently owes Voyager 15,250 BTC worth around $325 million and $350 million in Circle’s USDC stablecoin.

In last week’s announcement, Voyager disclosed that the crypto hedge fund, 3AC, owes them over $650 million, and up to now they have not repaid any digital assets to them.

Voyager Digital recovery plan

Today’s announcement confirmed that Voyager Digital is planning to recover its digital assets from 3AC and according to the latest reports, the platform is in consultations with the company advisors to assess legal remedies.

Meanwhile, rumors continued to spread that 3AC faced liquidation after the crypto market started to trade sideways with the largest crypto, Bitcoin, dropping below $2000. Bitcoin bloodbath placed many hedge funds and crypto lenders platforms in a compromising situation with the likes of Babel and Celsius suspending their redemptions and withdrawals as a result of liquidity pressure.

After Zhu Su, 3AC co-founder tweeted on June 15 that the company was working with appropriate parties on finding the solutions, he has not spoken a word over the ongoing issue since then.

Voyager Digital withdrawals remain active

Currently, Voyage Digital withdrawals are still active due to the 15,000 BTC and $200 million cash revolving credit line from Sam Bankman-Fried’s Alameda Research, so far, the platform has used about $75 million on the loan.

They said:

‘’We are working diligently and expeditiously to strengthen our balance sheet and pursuing options so we can continue to meet customer liquidity demands.’’

According to the updates, Voyager will continue to access the credit line.

MIR Price Prediction as the Mirror Protocol Rebounds

The Mirror Protocol price has crawled back in the past few days as investors cheer the strong performance of the UST stablecoin. MIR price is trading at $0.2210, which is about 50% above the lowest level in May this year. The rebound brings its total market cap to more than $34 million. 

What is Mirror Protocol?

Mirror Protocol is a blockchain derivative project that was among the biggest players in Terra’s ecosystem. Unlike Anchor Protocol, Mirror has a platform that enables people to buy and sell a variety of derivatives. 

For example, users can buy and sell derivatives like stocks and commodities. The network uses oracles to ensure that data on stocks and other assets is highly accurate. Instead of trading using fiat currencies, the network adopted UST, the algorithmic stablecoin that collapsed last month.

Therefore, the collapse of Terra UST stablecoin led to its collapse as the prices of its assets became unstable. It has not recovered since then.

Mirror Protocol has made headlines in the past few weeks. For example, a report published in May claimed that Mirror was a scam that was set up to scam retail investors. The claim alleged that the platform was created by Do Kwon and his associates to route funds from investors.

Meanwhile, Mirror was recently hacked. It is reported that the hackers stole over $22 million of assets in the network. This was the second hack after the network lost $90 million in October.

The MIR price is rising after the strong performance of UST. The stablecoin is trading at $0.020, meaning that it has risen by over 85% in the past 24 hours. Similarly, the Luna Classic price has risen by 31% in the same period. Still, they remain substantially below their all-time high.

MIR price prediction

The hourly chart shows that the MIR price has made a strong recovery in the past few days. The coin has moved above the important support shown in black. It has moved above the 25-period and 50-period moving averages while the MACD has continued rising.

Therefore, despite the recent jump, there is a likelihood that the coin is still bearish. If this happens, the next key support level to watch will be at $0.20. A move above the key resistance level at $0.25 will invalidate the bearish view.

Highlights June 27: Terra Classic USD is pumping, Dogecoin adds 11%

The crypto market as a whole is mixed with most top 100 coins relatively flat at the time of writing. 

Top cryptos

The crypto market was mostly flat this morning, with the majority of top 10 cryptos registering small losses. Bitcoin was down less than 1% at time of writing, trading above $21,000. 

Ethereum was around 1% lower%, XRP registered minor losses, and Cardano remained flat. Closing out the top 10 was Dogecoin, which was up around 11%.

Dogecoin’s gains are likely due to Elon Musk’s unwavering support. Despite accusations that Dogecoin was a pyramid scheme and the lawsuit against him, Musk has stated repeatedly he would always support it. 

Cryptos outside the top 10 were mixed. Tron added 8% to its value, perhaps finally getting back on track. Uniswap was up around 6%. 

Top movers

Most coins outside the top 20 were mixed. Notable standouts include Ethereum Classic, up 6%, and Stacks, up 20% ahead of an upcoming NFT launch. Terra Classic USD, the former UST, added 195% to its value and is currently trading for $0.03.  

The losers 

Quite a few coins in the top 100 lost 2-3% of their value. Those which lost more were NEAR, Storj, The Graph, and THORChain, each down 6% and Axie Infinity, Elrond, GALA, AAVE, and 1inch Network, each down 5%.

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao on crypto skeptics: ‘no need to ignore them’

Bitcoin has been called just about anything and virtually “nothing” by skeptics over the years.

If you did a little checking, you would note that perhaps the most bile towards the revolutionary technology maybe coming from what Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao calls “experienced and respected crypto skeptics.”

So how does the crypto market “address” this group of influential personalities and experts?

In his latest blog published on Friday, Zhao says “walk a mile in their shoes”, get to understand where their perspective has formed. Importantly, why take everything to heart when this is all normal and expected behavior.

“Being protective and defensive doesn’t always come from a maligned place. Good-faith actors want to protect their users and community. Central banks, regulators, and financiers, in most cases, want to avoid risk and provide security. So when people ask me how I deal with trusted, respected professionals admonishing crypto, I try to walk a mile in their shoes,” he wrote.

Don’t take ‘everything to heart’, CZ says

You have heard it all, you are engaging some of them – and clearly, they seem not to understand what crypto is. Instead of ‘ignoring’ their criticism, try to understand their views from the perspective of “their experience and position.”

This is how you end up extracting value from whatever criticism they advance.   And once you do that?

“There’s no need to ignore them or take everything to heart once you’ve dug a little bit deeper,” Zhao advises.

There is a lot one can take from the Binance chief’s take on crypto critics and how to go about getting to know that what they say comes from a certain point of view.

In a nutshell, blockchain technology is disruptive technology – and like any other new technology that actually disrupts – it’s more likely than not to be met with some skepticism from those who might feel threatened by it.

You can read all of CZ’s argument on the Binance blog.

BIFI Price Prediction as Beefy Finance Crawls Back

The BIFI price has crawled back as yield-optimizing blockchain projects bounce back. Beefy Finance’s token is trading at $0.0082, which is a few points above the intraday low of $0.0077. The current price is about 92% below the highest level in 2021. As a result, its total market cap has crashed to more than $37 million.

Yield optimizer token jumps

Beefy Finance is a leading player in the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry. Its business model is that it offers a multi-chain yield optimizer that allows users to earn compound interest on their crypto holdings. 

By comparing yields of various platforms, Beefy then selects the coin with the biggest yield. It simply maximizes returns from various liquidity pools and automated market-making projects. Beefy is compatible with the leading blockchains like Fantom, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, and Arbitrum among others.

According to DeFi Llama, the total value locked in Beefy Finance has been in a downward trend. It has crashed from an all-time high of over $1.22 billion to the current $259 million. This decline is in line with that of other DeFi protocols.

BIFI is the governance token for Beefy Finance. The BIFI token has jumped in the past few hours as other yield optimizers rebound. For example, YFII price has jumped by more than 300% in the past two days. Similarly, Yearn Finance has also jumped. Other DeFi tokens like Uniswap and AAVE have also rallied.

This performance is mostly because of the overall rebound of cryptocurrencies and US equities. The Dow Jones index has rallied by more than 3%. Another reason is that investors are simply buying the dip after the coin crashed hard in the past few months.

BIFI price prediction

The four-hour chart shows that the BIFI price has been in a strong bearish trend in the past few months. The sell-off accelerated after the coin moved below the important support level at $0.0133, which was the lowest level in May. It has also crashed below the 25-day and 50-day moving averages.

Therefore, Beefy Finance price will likely continue falling as bears target the next key support level at $0.0070. A move above the resistance at $0.01 will invalidate the bearish view.
