Vauld is a crypto lending and exchange platform co-founded by Darshan Bathija and Sanju Kurian that has been operating under a court-approved restructuring scheme since August 2023. Vauld's Twitter Score is 12 out of 1000 as of July 2026, ranking #87,930 among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Vauld was co-founded in 2018, offering crypto trading, fixed deposits, and asset-backed lending and borrowing through its operator, Defi Payments Pte. Ltd. It raised a $25 million Series A round led by Valar Ventures, with participation from Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, CMT Digital, gumi Cryptos, New Form Capital, CoinShares, and Robot Ventures.
Vauld suspended customer withdrawals, deposits, and trading on July 4, 2022, after persistent net withdrawals reduced its liquid assets to less than approximately US$30 million. Defi Payments Pte. Ltd. filed for a Singapore moratorium on July 8, 2022 as part of a restructuring effort. Proposed acquisition discussions with Nexo did not result in a deal. The High Court of Singapore sanctioned a Scheme of Arrangement, which became effective on August 16, 2023, covering approximately 150,000 global retail creditors with USD 325 million of unsecured claims and forecasting recoveries of up to 93%, according to Kroll. Creditor-distribution updates remained active through January 2026, indicating the platform continues to operate in restructuring rather than normal exchange mode.
Vauld also previously provided fiat-to-crypto services in India through Flipvolt Technologies Private Limited. In August 2022, India's Directorate of Enforcement stated it had issued a freezing order covering bank, payment-gateway, and crypto balances of Flipvolt Crypto-currency Exchange totaling Rs 370 Crore during an investigation into alleged proceeds of crime connected to predatory lending applications; no conviction of Vauld or its founders was stated in that release. Vauld has 4,452 posts on record and has been mentioned by 67 accounts, with 202 total mentions.
