According to Gate News bot and a report by Cointelegraph, the Decentralized Finance platform Synthetix announced the cancellation of its acquisition plan for the encryption options platform Derive. The plan initially involved 27 million dollars, proposing a 1:27 ratio for the exchange of SNX and DRV tokens. Members of the Derive community have questioned the acquisition, with key concerns including the token conversion ratio and the overall benefits of the acquisition. Some users have pointed out that Derive's actual revenue exceeds that of Synthetix, and that the protocol does not limit the dilution value of Synthetix's additional tokens. Ben Celermajer, head of strategy at Synthetix, said that while some community members supported the deal, the two parties had decided to terminate the acquisition to facilitate collaboration due to the lack of expected support.
