Joint venture will provide brokerage for equities, options, and futures trading
NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2021 /CNW/ - Voyager Digital Ltd. ("Voyager" or the "Company") (CSE: VYGR) (OTCQX: VYGVF) (FRA: UCD2), the fastest-growing, publicly-traded cryptocurrency platform in the United States, announced today that FINRA has approved a 50% investment by Market Rebellion, a leading provider of trading education, content, and tools for independent investors, in VYGR Digital Securities, LLC, to provide brokerage for equities, options, and futures trading through the Voyager platform.
In May, the two companies announced an agreement to jointly operate a broker-dealer focused on providing online brokerage services for equities, options, and futures. FINRA has approved the change of control of the broker-dealer, VYGR Digital Securities, LLC, resulting in equal ownership between Voyager and Market Rebellion.
"Our venture with Market Rebellion is a significant step in achieving our shared vision of fusing equities and crypto trading," said Stephen Ehrlich, Voyager's CEO and Co-founder. "This paves the way for Voyager to deliver an all-inclusive trading platform on the Voyager app. We will continue empowering all of our customers on their financial journeys by expanding the tools and services we offer."
VYGR Digital Securities, LLC will execute equity trades on behalf of Voyager's crypto-asset brokerage customers; Market Rebellion will also introduce its large and active trading community to the capabilities of this new platform.
"We can't wait to build this joint venture, which will change how people interact with the markets," said Dirk Mueller-Ingrand, Co-founder of Market Rebellion.
