— Binance.US ???? (@BinanceUS) April 25, 2023The Fight for Voyager's Assets
Voyager Digital filed for bankruptcy last July following the collapse of Terra-Luna, which sent shockwaves to the entire cryptocurrency industry. Before going bankrupt, Voyager also sent a notice of default to Singapore-based Three Arrows Capital (3AC) for failing to make payments on a crypto loan of over $650 million. 3AC also collapsed and is now being liquidated.
In the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, Voyager revealed that it had more than 100,000 creditors and assets between $1 billion and $10 billion.
The collapse of New Jersey-headquartered and Toronto-listed Voyager also pushed other crypto companies to rush for its discounted crypto assets. FTX US initially won the bid to procure the digital assets of Voyager, but the exchange and its Bahamas-based parent collapsed soon as the ill-business practices of Sam Bankman-Fried surfaced. Later, Binance.US outbid other players to acquire Voyager's assets but faced regulatory backlash.
The official Twitter handles of Voyager and its committee of unsecured creditors also showed distress on Binance.US's abrupt decision to withdraw from the deal.
"Today, we received a letter from Binance.US terminating the asset purchase agreement. While this development is disappointing, our chapter 11 plan allows for direct distribution of cash and crypto to customers (a "toggle option") via the Voyager platform," Voyager tweeted.
"Consistent with the plan, we will now move swiftly to return value to customers via direct distributions. We will provide more information on next steps and any actions customers need to take in the coming days."
2/ In the meantime, the Committee and Voyager are focused on promptly exercising the toggle option under the Plan to move forward immediately with a self-liquidation.
