Vauld, a Singapore-based crypto lender, has halted all transactions on its platform. The firm is examining restructuring options as it considers suspending withdrawals, trading and deposits.

- Vauld announced last month that it would be laying off 30% of its staff, with most of the team being located in India.
- Vauld has hired Kroll for financial advisory services. It also enlisted Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas and Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP as legal advisors in India and Singapore respectively.
- In 2018, the lender raised $25 million in Series A funding to expand its retail crypto banking platform and drive international expansion. Valar Ventures, Pantera Capital and Coinbase Ventures are among its investors, which are led by Peter Thiel.
