FTX debtors have announced that the reorganization plan enabling customer repayments will take effect on January 3, 2025, marking a significant step in the exchange’s bankruptcy proceedings.
The first group of FTX creditors can expect their repayments within 60 days of January 3, 2025, under certain conditions. Kraken and BitGo will assist in distributing recovery payments to users. A third undisclosed distributor will also be involved.
FTX CEO John J. Ray III urged customers to complete the necessary steps to receive distributions on time. Under the bankruptcy plan, priority will be given to “convenience classes,” which include claims of $50,000 or less.
Bankruptcy Overview
FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November 2022 following a liquidity crisis and the resignation of then-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. The case led to indictments of several executives, including Bankman-Fried, who is currently serving a prison sentence.
In October 2023, the court approved a plan to allow FTX debtors to repay customers up to 119% of their claimed account values.
FTX’s estate has taken legal action to recover funds used for political contributions and has pursued lawsuits against firms holding assets linked to the exchange. These reclaimed funds are expected to aid in user repayments.
