Cryptocurrency exchange Binance withdraws their rescue of FTX only one day after unveiling a takeover proposal

 

Even when the transaction was originally disclosed, the prospects for it continuing ahead were bleak at best, with Zhao emphasising at the time that the agreement was non-binding. “We are analysing the issue in real time since it is quite dynamic.” Binance has the option to withdraw from the transaction at any moment,” he stated on Tuesday. The Wall Street Journal and Coinbase both reported the next morning that Binance was seriously considering abandoning the rescue.
