Included in Voyager’s list of subpoenas is Samuel Trabucco, the former co-CEO of Alameda, who has kept a low public profile after retiring from the role in August 2022.
The depositions are scheduled to be conducted remotely on Feb. 23. Lawyers for Voyager’s creditors are investigating FTX's attempt to bail out crypto lender Voyager Digital when it went bankrupt in July 2022.
At the time, lawyers representing the bankrupt crypto lender responded to FTX’s proposal by calling it a "low-ball bid dressed up as a white knight rescue."
“AlamedaFTX essentially proposes a liquidation where FTX serves the role of liquidator. The 'fair value' of Voyager’s cryptocurrency assets and loans is subject to negotiation with AlamedaFTX,” the lawyers wrote at the time, saying the proposal was “designed to generate publicity for itself rather than value for Voyager’s customers.”
In the end, Binance.US won the bid for Voyager’s assets, and in mid-January, a U.S judge in New York gave the deal a green light to proceed.
Recently it was reported that Nishad Singh, the former director of engineering for FTX, whom Voyager also subpoenaed, plans to plead guilty to fraud charges.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
