Binance to Acquire CoinMarketCap
The CoinMarketCap (CMC) founders found to be delighted in the crypto ecosystem as the top exchange Binance is set to acquire the aforementioned entity worth $400 million.
The exchange is dealing with the final words with CMC for a possible cash-and-stock deal that is commenced to be completed later in the week.
Earlier this year, the CEO of Binance Changpeng “CZ” Zhao stated that the exchange is going to take two prominent decisions. These acquisitions are ‘major’ and will have a ‘significant impact’ on the market. The CoinMarket Cap is one of those two deals.
Investors questioning about the huge buyout
With this hot buzz, social media players became active by sharing their expert opinions. The OKEx founder Jay Hao, hinting CZ about the valuation of CMC acquisition, as per Jay’s view the CoinMarketCap may not be of that much value from what it is quoted.
Hey @cz_binance , why don't you just give @Binance a $1 trillion valuation then acquire @CoinMarketCap at $4 billion? Imo it's better to use the $ 400 million to buy back $BNB, that will do more good to your customers. https://t.co/tN7BSiUUFx

Adding to this, he also said that it will be much better if the exchange will use $400 million to buy back a fifth of Binance Coin (BNB) which will be good for its users.
Not only Jay but also some traders and investors questioning the huge buyout. The traders raised their inconsistencies about the announcement on the platform.
In what world CMC is worth 400M $? There are already better alternatives out there, not to mention that recent "developments" were mediocre at best unless you believe HitBTC is the most liquid exchange in crypto. pic.twitter.com/pZEXR91tLV

A trader tweets pointing out Binance that acquisition worth $400 million is meaningless, there are better alternatives out there in the market. He suggests HitBTC is the most liquid exchange in the crypto.
