Earlier, U.Today wrote that if Voyager were sold to Binance US, trillions of SHIB could be poured onto the market, which would have an unpredictable effect on quotations.

Now, the situation has become even more unclear with the tokens remaining in Voyager's wallet. Previously, hundreds of billions of tokens were sold off from the bankrupt crypto broker's address, and the initial balance was over 6 trillion .
