FTX Bankruptcy- What You Need to Know About FTX’s Upcoming $1.9 Billion Creditor Payout
FTX Bankruptcy– FTX is gearing up to release its next wave of creditor claims on September 30, with the official record date locked in at August 15. This marks a crucial step in the ongoing repayment process following the crypto giant’s high-profile bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy Court Approves $1.9 Billion Release from Reserve
In a recent court-approved update, the claims reserve has been slashed from $6.5 billion to $4.3 billion, freeing up $1.9 billion for distribution. While the exact amount earmarked for the September payout remains undisclosed, this move signals a significant cash infusion for former FTX customers.
$6.2 Billion Already Distributed — More to Come
So far, FTX has handed out $6.2 billion across two major rounds: $1.2 billion in February and a staggering $5 billion in May. The full repayment plan targets between $14.7 billion and $16.5 billion, with payback rates varying depending on claim type and valuation.
Creditors to Receive More Than Their Claims — But Market Growth Raises Eyebrows
About 98% of creditors are expected to recover at least 119% of their original claims, based on bankruptcy valuations. However, some creditors argue the overall crypto market’s surge since 2022 means payouts may undervalue their losses.
Legal Hurdles in Restricted Jurisdictions Spark Controversy
FTX’s Recovery Trust recently filed a motion to block claim payouts in countries like China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, labeling them as “restricted jurisdictions.” This move sparked strong backlash, forcing the court to revise the motion. Creditors in these regions can now opt to receive payouts via alternative jurisdictions, ensuring smoother distribution.
What’s Next for FTX Creditors and the Crypto Market?
These disbursements could inject fresh liquidity into crypto markets, particularly boosting altcoins. The coming months will be critical to watch as FTX navigates legal complexities and continues its historic repayment journey.
