<p>This Wednesday, Bankruptcy Judge Michael Wiles approved Voyager Digital’s liquidation plan. On the same day, the Committee of Unsecured Creditors stated it will seek to start implementing the plan as soon as possible.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Committee also expressed its hopes the plan might go effective already on Friday, May 19th, and stated it would, at that point, dissolve. The post also marks June 1st as the latest date for initial distributions.</p> 
<p>According to a Reuters report on the matter, Voyager was <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/bankrupt-crypto-lender-voyager-digital-predicts-35-customer-payout-2023-05-17/" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">approved to return around $1.35 billion</a> in users’ cryptocurrency. This means that the customers can expect to see approximately 35% of their assets back.</p>

<p>The latest liquidation plan was necessitated by Binance.US’s recent <a href="https://tokenist.com/binance-us-gives-up-on-1b-voyager-acquisition/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">decision to pull out</a> of its $1 billion acquisition agreement with Voyager. The deal was announced already in late 2022, and, after a series of challenges, received court approval on&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Binance’s American affiliate pulled out of the purchase nonetheless citing regulatory uncertainty. The company has recently found itself under increased pressure from US watchdogs and found itself as well as its CEO on the <a href="https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8680-23" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">receiving end of a CFTC complaint</a>.</p> 
<p>Voyager’s bankruptcy has been mired by setbacks and failed acquisitions. Before Binance.US stepped in, the company made an agreement with FTX—an agreement that was approved only weeks before <a href="https://tokenist.com/ftx-files-for-bankruptcy-sbf-to-step-down-as-ceo/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">FTX itself collapsed</a>.</p>
