Wang Feng, founder of Chinese crypto news outlet Marsbit, said Marsbit is willing to work with other companies to buy crypto news outlet CoinDesk.

“I believe in the future of the crypto industry, and I'm willing to do infrastructure services in a down-to-earth manner, no matter if it's trading or media," Wang said on Twitter. "Element Finance subsidiary Marsbit is willing to organize many well-known funds to cooperate to buy Coindesk, including its crypto media and all its Consensus conference business.”

Crypto conglomerate Digital Currency Group (DCG) is currently looking to sell CoinDesk as it faces troubles with its other subsidiary Genesis, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Jan. 20. The news site has retained investment bankers at Lazard to explore a potential sale, according to the Wall Street Journal. 

In 2019, Binance invested in Mars Finance, which evolved into Marsbit. It already had investors including crypto exchange Huobi and OK Capital, an investment entity related to the OKX crypto exchange.
