Shiba Inu: 3.1 Trillion Tokens at Risk as Binance-Voyager Deal Fails

Binance.US recently announced that it has canceled its deal with bankrupt crypto firm Voyager Digital. Binance’s American arm was supposed to purchase $1 billion worth of assets from the fallen company. However, the exchange cited a hostile regulatory environment in the U.S. as its reason for exiting the agreement. However, the deal falling through might pose a risk to the popular dog-themed crypto project, Shiba Inu (SHIB). The wallet of the defunct corporation still has a total of $260 million in crypto assets. The stablecoin USDC makes up half of them, with the remaining assets being other cryptocurrencies.
