FTX won an auc­tion for the as­sets of Voy­ager Digi­tal Ltd. with a bid val­ued at $1.42 bil­lion.

Voy­ager said there were mul­ti­ple rounds of bid­ding, and that it had con­sid­ered both a sale and a stand-alone re­or­ga­ni­zation. It said FTX’s bid was the high­est and best bid for its as­sets, and in­cludes the worth of all of Voy­ager’s cryp­tocurrency—which it es­ti­mates to be $1.3 bil­lion at cur­rent mar­ket prices—plus an ad­di­tional con­sid­er­a­tion of $111 mil­lion.

Voy­ager said the as­sets will be sold at their fair value on a fu­ture date that has yet to be de­ter­mined.

Pakistan is a top 5 country by population, what does their bitcoin scene look like? Feel like there is tremendous opportunity there, similar to what is going on in Nigeria.

Pa­kistan will get a new fi­nance min­is­ter af­ter the in­cum­bent lost sup­port from his po­lit­i­cal party for agree­ing to aus­ter­ity mea­sures in an ef­fort to win a bailout from the In­ternational Mon­e­tary Fund.

Mif­tah Is­mail, who has been fi­nance min­is­ter since the cur­rent gov­ern­ment came to power in April, said on Twit­ter late Sun­day that he would for­mally ten­der his res­ig­na­tion on Mon­day.

Ishaq Dar, who has served three times pre­vi­ously as fi­nance min­is­ter, told re­porters in Lon­don on Mon­day—where he has lived in ex­ile since 2017—that he will re­turn to Pa­kistan this week to take the job again.

He has pub­licly said that the terms of an IMF pro­gram, com­pleted in Au­gust, were too se­vere. The IMF re­quired the re­moval of sub­si­dies and the im­po­si­tion of new taxes. Gas prices, in par­tic­u­lar, in­creased sharply as a re­sult.

Mr. Dar would be­come Pa­kistan’s sixth fi­nance min­is­ter in the last four years, a turnover rate that added to the coun­try’s eco­nomic un­certainty.
