Binance Readies Bid For Bankrupt Voyager Again After FTX Downfall: Report

Binance US is reportedly preparing to relaunch a bid for bankrupt lending platform Voyager Digital Ltd VYGVF, Coindesk reported, citing a person familiar with the plans.

What Happened: Binance's bid for the U.S.-based Voyager was rejected due to national security concerns back in Sep.2021.  

FTX FTT/USD, a now-defunct digital asset exchange, was the "white knight" in that auction, beating out rivals — Wave Financial and Binance.

Price Action: FTT is trading at $1.66, down 5.83% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
