FTX, one of the largest exchanges, won the auction for the assets of bankrupt crypto brokerage Voyager Digital Ltd. with a bid of around $1.4 billion, Voyager announced on 27 September. The bid also included “additional consideration that is estimated as providing approximately $111 million of incremental value,” according to official press release.
“FTX US’s bid maximizes value and minimizes the remaining duration of the Company’s restructuring by providing a clear path forward for the Debtors to consummate a chapter 11 plan and return value to their customers and other creditors,” said the statement.
Now, the proposal is subject to court approval processes, including a creditor vote. A hearing on the matter is slated for 19 Oct0ber at 4 p.m. EST.
Having said that, one question arises: what’s the future look like for the VGX token now?
