👉 Voyager Could Distribute Assets To Creditors Within Weeks
Voyager Digital is preparing to distribute cash and cryptocurrency to creditors within the next few weeks as it finalizes its liquidation procedures, following the collapse of its deal to sell assets to Binance.US.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission had scrutinized the failed deal, and Binance.US cited the “hostile and uncertain regulatory climate in the United States” as the reason for backing out.
