Shiba Inu SHIB/USD is lower by some 6.31% to $0.00000936 Wednesday morning. Shares of several altcoins are trading lower following a CoinDesk report suggesting Binance is leaning toward scrapping the FTX acquisition.
What Happened?
Our Benzinga team on Wednesday reported that, after less than a day of assessing the company, cryptocurrency exchange Binance is reportedly “very unlikely” to proceed with its proposed acquisition of struggling rival FTX.
Due diligence was a condition of Binance’s non-binding letter of intent for the acquisition, which was made public on Tuesday as FTX’s financial situation appeared to be spiraling out of hand.
