Furthermore, the platform is owned by a listed company in Canada, Voyager Digital Ltd. (CSE:VYGR), a $600 million market capitalization fully-regulated entity.<\/p>\n<p>The Canada TSX exchange listing deal also hides an interesting story. By acquiring a defunct shell company, Voyager was able to manage a reverse merger in Feb. 2019. More interestingly, not a single USD has been paid for the deal, which involved shares of the new company.<\/p>\n<p>In Oct. 2019, Voyager announced a partnership with Celsius Network to manage a portion of its clients\u2019 assets. Thus, the broker was able to diversify its staking offering.<\/p>\n<p>Another notable milestone was Circle Invest acquisition completed in Feb. 2020, converting more than 40,000 accounts. Circle Invest was previously involved with the USD Coin (USD) stablecoin, besides Poloniex exchange, although both projects had already been divested. It is worth noting that the deal did not involve cash, being settled in Voyager Digital shares.<\/p>\n<p>These developments explain the current uptick in user accounts and token activity and similar to Coinbase, Voyager\u2019s fiat on-ramp and regulated status could make the exchange a top choice for future crypto investors located in the United States. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VGX_price_growth_follows_new_acquisitions_and_European_expansion\"><\/span>VGX price growth follows new acquisitions and European expansion <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Currently, Voyager exchanges is available to every U.S. state except New York, as the company waits for its BitLicense approval. In October 2020, Voyager Digital acquired France-based LGO, a fully licensed European digital asset exchange focused on institutional investors.<\/p>\n<p>LGO CEO Hugo Renaudin explained that the French company would discontinue its dedicated institutional exchange, while LGO would operate under the Voyager brand, although focusing mostly on retail.<\/p>\n<p>The overall traded volume on Voyager\u2019s platform reached $120 million in Nov. 2020, while its asset under management surpassed $485 million on Jan. 15. To date, more than 200,000 users have downloaded the iOS and Android applications and further expansion into Europe should increase the platform\u2019s user base. <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-01\/2849c0a0-ccad-4534-a2af-333f073a7920.png\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Voyager (VGX) <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> user activity vs. price (USD).
