Given that the problem that led to Voyager’s failure is of external origin, and therefore not due to its own structural problems, there are many crypto companies interested in buying up their assets, and possibly in revitalizing their operations.
To tell the truth, for example, FTX’s interim agreement did not provide for the reopening of Voyager’s services, but merely the acquisition of its customers and assets.
After FTX went bankrupt, it was like that binance To propose the acquisition of Voyager’s assets in lieu of the American Stock Exchange. I did INX recently too Show.

BeforeEarth/Moon ecosystem collapse VGX token price It was more than $1.
In May, it fell to $0.6, but between June and July it fell to $0.15. In other words, in just two months it lost 88% of its value.
However, by September it had recovered almost all of those losses, to the tune of almost $1. But during the month of October, the price returned to $0.4, and after the failure of FTX it fell to $0.2.
However, recent developments have brought it back to around $0.4, which is 96% below the all-time high of $12.5 reached in January 2018.
However, the recovery in the past four weeks seems to chart a positive future for the development of this story.
INX among Voyager’s cryptocurrency news
Indeed, INX’s interest reveals that there are more suitors poised to take over Voyager’s assets.
The company said it had submitted an offer with a non-binding letter of intent, but declined to disclose details.
However, they described this offering as “strategic” to further their vision of democratizing finance and reshaping current market paradigms by leveraging the power and versatility of their regulated trading platform.
However, they also declared that they are primarily interested in customers and creditors of Voyager, so it is likely that they, like FTX, do not want to resume the activities of its services, but only to acquire their own customers.
In addition to INX and Binance, Wave Financial and CrossTower also appear to have expressed interest in acquiring Voyager assets.

In particular, many weak, unfortunate or poorly managed companies are disappearing, which will inevitably be replaced by others that are strong and in good standing.
Something similar is also happening with various cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency projects, some of which have disappeared or are disappearing, others are slowly slipping into oblivion.
On the other hand, 2021 was a crazy year, marked by an incredible proliferation of cryptocurrency projects, initiatives, and companies that would definitely not have survived this year’s bear market. So it is inevitable that there will be some kind of “cleansing” that wipes out the initiatives least equipped to survive, leaving only those who are truly able to do so.
