Will FTX Binance Deal Go Through?

Meanwhile, reports suggest Binance will after all not proceed with the deal after initial round of assessment of FTX’s financials. It was said in the non-binding letter of intent for acquisition that FTX will go through the process of due diligence. However, latest reports say that Binance is more inclined towards rejecting the deal offer. The assessment is based on evaluation of FTX’s internal data and loan agreements.

It remains to be seen if the crypto crash deepens to new market lows if the deal does not materialize. In that case, the bigger question would be what is the alternative solution for FTX’s liquidity crunch. Also, the exchange might attract regulatory attention considering the scale of impact. The U.S. SEC is already probing the relationship between the US arm of FTX and Alameda Research. The regulators are reportedly probing the manner in which FTX handled user assets.
