TikTok has until April to finalize a sale to a U.S.-based buyer, yet uncertainties about the future of the short-form video app remain. However, a new Oracle is reportedly the leading candidate to serve as the cloud technology partner for managing TikTok in the U.

Tech billionaire Larry Ellison’s Oracle is reportedly a “leading contender to help run TikTok” as the Trump administration works to secure a sale that would avoid a complete ban of the China-owned app.

Oracle is emerging as the frontrunner to take control of TikTok’s US operations. This is according to a new report from The Information (paywalled). The Oracle TikTok lead is significant, given the platform’s enormous influence and the political scrutiny surrounding its operations in the US.

With an April 5 deadline looming, TikTok could be sold, banned again, or given another extension. Here’s what’s at stake.

TikTok could have one or a few new owners, be banned again, or simply receive another reprieve to continue operating in the U.S. Questions about the fate of the popular app has continued to linger since a law requiring its China-based parent company to divest or face a ban took effect on Jan.

U.S. President Donald Trump will try to deal with TikTok in the time frame that he has, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told Fox Business in an interview on Friday, without offering any further detail.
