According to the company's announcement, it intends to return its asset-to-debt ratio to 1:1 so that users can withdraw their initial cryptocurrency deposits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hodlnaut also stated that it was considering giving users the option to close their Hodlnaut accounts before withdrawing their initial <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/huobi-partners-with-bman-to-launch-400-million-fund-for-crypto-investment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">investment <\/a>and all accumulated interest. This is now up for the soon-to-be-appointed judicial manager's approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By lowering burn rates, the company will take steps to stabilize its liquidity. As a result, all open-term lending rates will be reduced to 0% APR as of August 22. The business also acknowledged that it had laid off 40 workers, or 80% of its staff, in an effort to further cut costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a few weeks after Hodlnaut stopped allowing withdrawals and deposits on its platform, the application for Judicial Management will be submitted on August 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hodlnaut may have had exposure to Terra's failing algorithmic stablecoin UST, according to on-chain analytics, despite the company's insistence that it had no investment exposure to the now-bankrupt loan company <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/three-arrows-capital-swaps-33m-staked-eth-for-ethereum.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3 Arrows Capital<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hodlnaut added that the Singapore Police Force and the Attorney-General of Singapore were also parties to ongoing legal actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Troubled cryptocurrency lending platform Hodlnaut stated it is cutting down its staff size by a whooping 80% owing to poor financial condition.
