How will Voyager compensate users?
On March 8, a New York court approved Binance’s continued purchase of Voyager for $1 billion, despite opposition from the SEC and New York regulators. The judge ruled that the Binance.US settlement provided more benefits to the affected Voyager creditors. Once the court gives final approval, Binance will buy Voyager. However, Voyager must decide to close the deal or liquidate the assets to return the money to Voyager customers.
The Binance.US deal will help clients recover 73 percent of their crypto holdings before bankruptcy.
