The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data will be released on August 12. CPI is one of the most important indicators of global inflation. Expectations point to headline inflation at 2.8% and core inflation at 3.0%. A result below expectations would support upward momentum for digital assets. However, a higher-than-expected result would trigger selling pressure in the cryptocurrency markets.

The Producer Price Index (PPI) data will be published on August 14. PPI is the last key metric to guide the Fed’s monetary policy outlook. The Fed has kept interest rates unchanged. In addition, expectations for a rate cut in September remain in place. These figures will play a role in shaping the possible decision. On the same day, US jobless claims will also be announced, with expectations at 220K compared to the previous 226K.

Jackson Hole, Trade Tensions, and Company Developments

The Jackson Hole Economic Symposium will be held from August 21 to 23. Organized by the Kansas City Fed, the event will bring together central bank governors, economists, and financial leaders. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks at the event are expected to influence market sentiment.

In the crypto space, on August 11, Binance will delist $DEFI and $MEMEFI futures contracts. On August 12, Stellar (XLM) will publish its Q2 2025 report. Meanwhile, Orca DAO’s vote on using 55,000 Solana from its treasury for $ORCA buybacks will end the same day.

On August 14, Lido (LDO) will hold a forum discussing its roadmap and long-term plans. On August 15, three significant events will take place. In the US, Donald Trump will meet Vladimir Putin in Alaska. FTX will make new payments to creditors as part of its bankruptcy process. In addition, SharpLink Gaming, dubbed the “MicroStrategy of Ethereum,” will release its earnings report

FTX to Repay Creditors! Payment Date and Details Announced

Yigit Taha OZTURK — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 17:00:45 +0000

Once one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, FTX is now preparing to repay its investors after its 2022 collapse. FTX creditors, who have been affected throughout the bankruptcy process, will start receiving their first repayments as of February 18, 2025.

Emails sent to relevant users indicate that the first phase of the repayment process will cover FTX Bahamas creditors under the “convenience class”, which includes claims under $50,000.

FTX Collapse and Repayment Process

FTX filed for bankruptcy in November 2022 following a liquidity crisis, which led to CEO Sam Bankman-Fried misappropriating customer funds to cover multi-billion-dollar losses at Alameda Research, its sister company. This collapse caused significant turmoil in the crypto market, resulting in massive losses for investors.

Now, as part of the bankruptcy process, affected customers will receive approximately 119% of the cash value of their deposits from two years ago.

However, the repayment plan is based on crypto prices from November 2022. As a result, customers who held Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) at the time will receive compensation reflecting values of around $20,000 and $1,200, respectively.

Solana Investors Among the Biggest Losers

The FTX collapse has had a particularly harsh impact on Solana (SOL) investors. When FTX filed for bankruptcy, Solana was trading at just $17. Today, Solana is trading above $200, meaning that many investors have missed out on significant gains.

This has caused frustration among customers who lost their crypto holdings, as the FTX repayment plan is based on past prices rather than current market values.

How Will FTX Repayments Affect the Crypto Market?

FTX’s repayment process could have a major impact on the cryptocurrency market. Since most payments will be made in cash, some investors may reinvest these funds back into crypto. This could lead to positive momentum for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

However, if large investors decide to cash out instead of reinvesting, it could create selling pressure in the market.

In the coming days, how FTX creditors choose to use these funds will be one of the key factors shaping the market’s direction!
