A $1.02 billion deal by Binance.US to purchase assets of defunct crypto lender Voyager has been opposed by New York and Federal finance regulators, who said in Feb. 22 filings it could prove discriminatory and unlawful.
Elements of the proposed Binance.US-Voyager deal may also infringe the law, given how the plan envisages repaying Voyager’s former customers, the SEC said.
Under the deal, “the transactions in crypto assets necessary to effectuate the rebalancing, the redistribution of such assets to Account Holders, may violate the prohibition in Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 against the unregistered offer, sale, or delivery after sale of securities,” a filing by the SEC said, citing in particular the VGX token issued by Voyager.
