“Listing Will Boost Crypto Adoption and Transparency”
Voyager shares will trade on the ticker symbol VYGR.V. Stephen Ehrlich (chief executive officer at Voyager) stated in a blog that while reverse takeovers have become a popular business strategy for many young companies, the idea a young company going public might seem unusual.”
“The choice was easy for us. Voyager had the chance to be transparent in its business, mature in the crypto market, and offer the world the opportunity of investing in a public cryptocurrency trading company via the traditional market.
A reverse takeover allows private companies to avoid the rigorous regulatory oversight and associated costs that come with going public through an initial publicly offered. This is a great option for startups who want to cut through bureaucratic red tape.
Voyager announced recently the conclusion of its tie up with UC Resources. UC Resources is a publicly listed company on Canada’s NEX Exchange. Voyager went public as a result of the merger. This is essentially a takeover from UC Resources. The deal allows the merged entity transition to the TSX Ventures Exchange as a Tier-2 company.
Solid Capital Base to Support Company Growth
Ehrlich explained in a blog post that the stock exchange listing legally requires the broker to publish quarterly and annual reports. Voyager must also publicly disclose details of any corporate deals, such as mergers and acquisitions, securities transactions by employees, and ownership changes.
Ehrlich said, “We’re confident the level of transparency that a public corporation is held to will benefit our shareholders as well as customers and the crypto market overall.” “We want to make it easier for people to get involved in the crypto market by offering a regulated vehicle that is free from the uncertainty and fear that have plagued the industry.”
