Hodlnaut Hopes the Company’s Bitcoin and Ethereum Will Not Get Liquidated, Lender Has Not Secured Any Creditors
Hodlnaut hopes the judicial management option will help customers the most and it would “avoid liquidation of Hodlnaut’s holdings of BTC y ETH at today’s depressed prices.” If the company’s holdings are liquidated and sold, “this would mean that all users (whether you have deposited BTC, ETH or stablecoins) would likely only get back a fraction of what was initially deposited.” The crypto lender continued:
We have heard you and understand that some of our users urgently need to access their funds. Como tal, we are also exploring the option of allowing users to withdraw their initial deposit, with interest accrued in full, at a discounted amount and close their account with Hodlnaut.
The company’s judicial management case will be heard today by the Singapore court and if the startup’s filing is successful, an interim judicial manager will be appointed by the court. Following the court process on Monday, Hodlnaut plans to update the public on Tuesday, Agosto 23, 2022.
