Binance.US deal with Voyager may be subject to CFIUS’ review
The financial agreement deal between Voyager Digital & Binance.US may face some significant impact because of the federal committee review.
Voyager Digital is a Crypto Brokerage platform. On 1 July 2022, Voyager suspended its services like “trading, deposits, withdrawals and loyalty rewards” because the company was under a financial struggle as Three Arrows Capital had not repaid loans totaling $666 Million. On 5 July, This company filed for bankruptcy under chapter 11 in the US bankruptcy court.
Experts noted that court filing showed that financial transactions between Binance.US & Voyager Digital may fall under the review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
The filing notice stated:
“(BinanceUS & Voyager financial agreement under CFIUS’ review) could affect the ability of the parties to complete the transactions, the timing of completion, or relevant terms.”
So, here it will be a type of shock for not only BinanceUS but also for the customers & creditors of Voyager Digital because the deal may terminate or will take a huge time to reach the final phase.
