Vauld User Deposits Could Face Reductions If Returned? Here’s Why

After abruptly suspending withdrawals, trading and deposits on its platform, Vauld depositors are eagerly waiting for an update on funds. On Monday, the exchange said it was exploring restructuring options with its financial and legal advisors. But going by the events that led to the collapse of credit ecosystem in crypto space, it looks like customers would not get all their funds back.
Vauld Co-Founder Comments On Indirect Exposure
Vauld Co-founder Darshan Bhatija had in a Telegram chat stated that contagion effects of the market sentiment have impacted his company’s prospects. He said there was no clarity as to who had indirect exposure to companies like Celsius, Babel, Voyager and 3AC. Bhatija added that the contagion effects of the market had impacted Vauld as several counterparties began to default.
“Contagion effects of the market when multiple counterparties started defaulting. The market is yet to see through who has indirect exposure.”
Meanwhile, Vauld depositors are seeking immediate action towards returning depositor money. If the Vauld management returns customer money, it could pave way for gaining public trust. Returning depositor money could be an incredible achievement, said Unleash Instinct, a crypto enthusiast on Twitter.
“Hoping that Darshan Bathija and Vauld are able to return depositor money. Can be an incredible achievement if they do. They will definitely earn the respect of their customers who might continue to use Vauld or any future venture they embark on. But reputation is everything.”
In a latest, Bhatija said his company gives importance to customers over founders and venture capitalists. “We are not prioritizing our founders and VC investors.” He said Vauld customers are top most priority and that all actions will lead to maximize customer value.
Vauld Customers To Lose Some Part Of Deposits?
Meanwhile, the talk is on around how Vauld could proceed to return money if Nexo deal goes through. Saleem Lala, a crypto trader, said users would take a haircut on their deposits. “As an alternative, returns could be made through other means like tokens or equity swap, similar to what Voyager is planning.”
Talks with Nexo are on, but I don’t think they will finance the shortfall directly, he added.
