FTX declared that a restructuring plan allowing customer repayment would take effect on January 3, 2025.
FTX stated that it had established a schedule for the first allocation of funds to exchange users, over two years after the company declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The FTX debtors state that the first claim holders can anticipate repayments within sixty days of January. 3, 2025, if specific requirements are met.
BitGo and Kraken, according to the debtors, would help distribute recoveries to FTX users. According to the exchange, other customer groups anticipating repayments “will be announced in due course.”. FTX CEO John J. stated, “We are in a good position to start distributing recoveries back to all customers and creditors, and we encourage customers to take the required actions to start receiving distributions as soon as possible.”.
A bankruptcy judge approved the FTX reorganization plan in October, which, once it went into effect, allowed debtors to return approximately 119 percent of the claimed account value for 98 percent of users. The plan states that users with claims worth $50,000 or less will be among the first “convenience classes” to receive repayments.
Mike Belshe, the CEO of BitGo, stated that the company was “proud to support FTX” by helping to disburse recovery funds. A third distributor, who will not be identified at the time of publication, will join BitGo and Kraken, according to the FTX customer claims portal.
FTX filed for bankruptcy protection in the US in November 2022, just after the exchange’s liquidity crisis and the resignation of then-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. FTX and Alameda Research executives were indicted in multiple cases, and three of them, including Bankman-Fried, are currently serving lengthy prison sentences.
