CoinFeed, June 20 - Alex Svanevik, CEO of on-chain data analytics platform Nansen, stated on X that in hindsight, if Binance founder CZ had completed the acquisition of FTX back then, his potential asset structure could have changed significantly, possibly indirectly holding about an 8% stake in Anthropic, about a 5% stake in AI coding tool Cursor, and some investment interests related to SpaceX. It is reported that CZ disclosed the proposed acquisition in November 2022, but abandoned it after due diligence uncovered issues beyond his control, and FTX subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection.
