Despite the objection of the SEC, the court gives the green light for a billion -dollar purchase contract between Binance US and Voyager regulation

The asset purchase contract between Binance Us and the bankruptcy rotting Crypto loan Voyager Digital has reportedly received a first judicial approval despite the objections of various supervisory authorities, including the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

court allowed Binance US to buy Voyager's assets

The planned purchase of assets between the US arm of the Cryptocurrency Exchange Binance (Binance US) and the bankruptcy crypto loan Voyager Digital said on Tuesday.

The court nevertheless gave the deal green light Exchange Commission (SEC) and a number of state security supervisory authorities. In addition, the US Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), a cross-agency body that reviews the national security risks of foreign investments in US companies, has expressed concerns about Binance's US voyager deal. CFIUS said in a court application dated December 30 that his review "could impair the ability of the parties to conclude the transactions, the time of the degree or relevant conditions".

The lawyer of Voyager, Joshua Sussberg, said during the trial on Tuesday that the lender reacted to the concerns raised by CFIUS, and added:

We coordinate with Binance and your lawyers in order not only to edit this request, but also voluntarily submit an application to advance this process.

As part of the agreement with Binance, Voyager customers are transferred to the US crypto trading platform Binance, the lawyer said and added that the deal also includes a cash payment of $ 20 million.

When the business is completed, Voyager customers could withdraw their money for the first time since July last year when the crypto loan registered bankruptcy.

Voyager estimates that customers can recover 51 % of their deposits at the time when the company registered bankruptcy when the business is completed with Binance Us to buy assets, Sussberg stated. However, if CFIUS blocks the transaction, Voyager must use the existing cryptocurrencies to repay customers, he noted and added that this would lead to a lower payment for Voyager users.

While the purchase contract between Binance Us and Voyager may be continued, the court has made it clear that the supervisory authorities can object to the final approval of the sale.
