Binance’s Zhao suggests that distressed assets could fetch $1 billion
According to Binance Holdings Ltd.’s Chief Executive Officer Changpeng Zhao, the company will make a second offer for the bankrupt lender Voyager Digital and is looking for an approximately $1 billion fund for the future acquisition of troubled assets in the digital asset sector.
In a turbulent time for crypto, Zhao has played a pivotal role. Sam Bankman-competitor Fried’s FTX exchange and trading business Alameda Research collapsed as a result of his tweets exposing worries about their condition. After FTX’s dramatic bankruptcy filing, his exchange has since solidified its place as the biggest cryptocurrency trading platform in the world. Zhao unveiled proposals for an industry recovery fund last week to aid solid projects experiencing a financing crunch.
The US-based cryptocurrency broker Genesis Global, which has been in talks with investors for a new round of funding to avoid bankruptcy after running into problems in its lending arm, is also in talks with Binance. Approximately 30% of the $2.8 billion in outstanding loans held by the struggling brokerage, which includes its parent business, Barry Silbert’s Digital Currency Group, were provided to related parties. Zhao claimed that a Genesis collapse might only have an effect on a small number of significant institutional players and that the industry will survive despite the challenges.
Proof of Reserves released by major crypto companies
This week after the FTX Collapse, many exchange platforms have shared their proof of reserve. When Binance’s exchange reserves were covered by Bitcoin.com News two days ago, cryptoquant.com data indicated that the trading platform had just under 600,000 bitcoin. According to statistics from cryptoquant.com as of Nov. 20, 2022, Binance now possesses about 584K bitcoin. According to data from the same day, Coinbase Pro, also known as Coinbase Exchange, currently possesses about 532K bitcoin.
The proof-of-reserves debate has gained momentum, and a few exchanges have announced impending audits of proof-of-reserves. For instance, Bitstamp mentioned that the business has been audited from 2016 on November 21, 2022. While COIN shares rose 5.24% soon before the Wall Street closing bell on November 22, Coinbase Global shares remain down 82% year to date. On Tuesday afternoon, COIN shares are currently trading for $43.39 per share (ET). One person responded to Armstrong’s tweet on Tuesday on Coinbase’s bitcoin holdings by saying, “The transparency and speedy response is much needed and welcomed atm.”
The cryptocurrency investment platform CoinSwitch, which is funded by Tiger Global and Coinbase, claimed last week that a report by an unaffiliated third party had verified that its overall holdings of digital currency and Indian rupee balances were higher than those of its users.
In collaboration with cryptocurrency portfolio tracking service Nansen, Indian cryptocurrency exchange CoinDCX has released its proof of reserves report. According to Nansen, CoinDCX had assets worth close to $130 million
