What Is VGX

Launched in October 2018 by Crypto Trading Technologies, Voyager token (VGX) is a decentralized blockchain-based broker of cryptocurrencies and blockchain utility tokens. The brokerage provides a trustworthy and secure platform for retail and institutional investors in the cryptocurrency space. The Voyager Network acts as an intermediary with smart forwarding technology between its users and different cryptocurrency exchanges and markets.

Since its launch, the service has grown dramatically, with support for over 55 cryptocurrencies,  among which are Ethereum and Bitcoin, the two biggest cryptos by market capitalization, available on Voyager at the time of publication. The platform has a built-in Smart Order Routing functionality that provides users with the best rates across a dozen of other cryptocurrency exchanges. The Voyager's Smart Order Routing enables an intuitive and automated brokerage service within a simple and efficient trading environment.

In January 2019, Crypto Trading Technologies, the parent company of Voyager, launched a mobile app. The app makes trade execution efficient, cost-effective, and profitable. The Voyager app finds the best routes for traders, enabling commission-free trading from the convenience of their smartphones. Traders only pay the quoted price when executing orders.

The brokerage's native cryptocurrency, Voyager Token (VGX), is an ERC-20 token created and hosted on the Ethereum network for extra security. The ETHOS token and Voyager merged to form the Voyager Token (VGX) and provide accessibility, liquidity, and security to the Voyager app. VGX is designed to generate wagering rewards for its holders based on the balance of VGX held in their Voyager app account. It also allows increasing their return income on other digital assets within the Voyager crypto ecosystem.

The market value of VGX is affected by the volatility in the crypto market. It is determined by different factors, i.e., upgrades, updates, roadmap developments, the activity of the dev team, mergers, and the most recent merger of VGX with LGO token.

The VGX price spiked up dramatically during the crypto bull market of 2020-21 and rallied markedly in late July of 2021.

The popular features of the Voyager app are - Intuitive order placements, Custom chart views, and 2-factor authentication.

Voyager has no added fees and commissions, and you only have to pay the quoted price once the trade is executed. Moreover, Voyager is the only broker app that also allows users to earn compound interest.

Voyager also enables users to earn substantial interest by depositing the minimum monthly balance without locking up their funds. Users can earn compound interest on over 30 available cryptocurrencies.

The Voyager token price is affected by the technical capacity of the project and the technology the project uses to enable brokerage services. The market price of VGX is not determined by its intrinsic value. It is affected by such factors as the general momentum effects of the cryptocurrency market and global macro factors affecting cryptocurrencies.
