Earlier in September, the now-failed FTX US won the auction for the assets of the bankrupt crypto brokerage firm with a bid of around $1.4 billion.
Voyager stated in the new press statement that it had opened “discussions with alternative bidders.” It further confirmed that with the Voyager Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (UCC), it was,
“Moving with all due care and deliberate speed to identify an alternative plan of reorganization consistent with the core objective throughout this process: maximizing the value returned to customers and other creditors.”
Although FTX US had won the bid for its assets in September, Voyager claimed that it did not transfer any assets to the exchange “in connection with the previously proposed transaction.” It, however, clarified that FTX US submitted the sum of $5 million as a “good faith” deposit as part of the auction process, which was held in escrow.
Also, Voyager said it had no outstanding loans made out to FTX’s sister trading company, Alameda Research.
“Voyager successfully recalled loans from Alameda Research for 6,500 BTC and 50,000 ETH. At this time, Voyager has no loans outstanding with any borrower,” the crypto brokerage firm claimed.
