("Voyager" or the "Company") (CSE:VYGR; OTCQB:VYGVF; FRA:UCD2), a public, licensed crypto-asset broker that provides investors with a turnkey solution to trade crypto assets, today announced that it has partnered with Silver Cost Basis ("Silver"), a leading provider of regulatory cost basis processing solutions, to deliver year-end cryptocurrency gain/loss statements to its customers. The partnership enhances Voyager's already outstanding client experience by providing investors and traders with gain/loss information for use in preparing accurate tax returns.

"Customer gain/loss statements provide the information needed for cryptocurrency traders to accurately complete their Forms 8949 and 1040, and can even be attached to tax returns," said Neal Ruskin, Silver's Managing Partner responsible for product strategy. "By providing statements to their customers in advance of regulatory requirements, Voyager is setting the standard for transparent reporting in the cryptocurrency space."
