Binance Terminates $1 Bn Voyager Acquisition Deal, What's Next?

Binance Ends $1B Voyager Deal

A U.S. bankruptcy judge gave the go-ahead for the sale to Binance.US just one month ago and according to the previous plan, customers’ funds would have been recovered to the extent of 73%. However, this amount could have been reduced to 48% in the event that claims from the defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX and its subsidiary Alameda Research were successful. There was a resounding 97% yes vote among the 6% of creditors who voted on the proposed Voyager plan.
