Exchange buys Voyager assets
Earlier this week, Binance.US won the bid to effectively bail out Voyager. He then bought the assets of the bankrupt cryptocurrency broker for over $1 billion. The auction to buy Voyager’s assets had previously won FTX, shortly before its collapse. After bidding for $1.4 billion earlier this year, FTX was the winner of the auction.

Following the collapse of FTX, Binance CEO and founder Changpeng Zhao announced that Binance US will bid for Voyager’s assets. Voyager stated in a press release on Dec. 19 that Binance USA made the highest and best bid for its assets with a $1.02 billion deal.
