ChainCatcher News: U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John Dorsey in Wilmington, Delaware, has approved FTX's proposal to sell its stake in the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic, following a compromise reached in court with a group of FTX customers opposed to the sale. FTX invested $500 million in Anthropic in 2021 and currently holds a 7.84% stake in the company. The company seeks to sell its shares as part of its efforts to liquidate assets under court supervision and repay customers who lost access to their accounts when the company collapsed in 2022.Court documents show that FTX plans to sell its Anthropic shares profitably and will retain the flexibility to sell the stock at "the most optimized and appropriate time." FTX wrote in court documents on February 3: "Given the growing interest in artificial intelligence and large language models, the value of Anthropic's stock has significantly appreciated since the debtor acquired and invested in Anthropic in 2021."

ChainCatcher news, citing Binance's Asia-Pacific director Steve Young Kim, states that Binance is currently in the early discussion stage of selling a partial stake in the South Korean exchange Gopax. During the Binance monthly roundtable meeting, Binance's Asia-Pacific director Steve Young Kim mentioned regarding the VASP issue of GoFX: "We hope to provide more specific information about the sale of this stake in some form within the next month or two."In March of this year, Gopax submitted a notice of business change for virtual assets to the financial regulatory authority, applying to change its registered directors. However, the regulatory authority delayed the approval of this notice, citing judicial risks associated with Binance. In response, Binance plans to reduce its stake in Gopax by selling part of its holdings after converting a loan to be paid to Gopay for resolving VASP renewal issues into part of Gopax's debts.According to the regulations of financial intelligence agencies, the validity period for crypto asset operators is three years from the date of receipt of the initial declaration, and renewal applications must be completed 45 days before the validity period expires. Gopax's initial declaration was received on December 9, 2021.
