After a 4-day trial, the US bankruptcy court gave the “green light” to the Binance.US acquisition of Voyager.
A US bankruptcy court judge has approved a debt restructuring plan for Voayger, a crypto lender that went bankrupt in mid-2022, including an agreement to sell itself to Binance.US for $1. billion USD.

Representatives of Binance.US are delighted with the court’s ruling:
“Our goal has always been to return assets to our clients as soon as possible and give them full control over their money. We hope to close the deal soon and welcome Voyager users to Binance.US.”

Voyager’s VGX token price has skyrocketed by nearly 30% thanks to the news that the US court approved the deal with Binance.US.
Voyager has in the past been linked to FTX when it agreed to sell itself to this exchange for $1.4 billion. The company also borrowed $ 450 million from FTX to maintain operations after admitting heavy losses from Three Arrows Capital. However, after it was FTX’s turn to go bankrupt, there was concern that the exchange would reclaim the above $450 million, significantly affecting the goal of claiming 73% of Voyager users’ assets.
