FTX Announces Second Creditor Payouts Starting May 30
- FTX distributes $5 billion to creditors from May 30.
- Payouts range between 54%-120% across classes.
- Payout values determined by November 2022 asset prices.
FTX is initiating a $5 billion creditor payout starting May 30 to distribute funds across various claimant classes impacted by bankruptcy.
This marks a significant phase in FTX’s Chapter 11 plan, affecting creditor recoveries and market liquidity.
$5 Billion to Be Distributed Under FTX Recovery Trust
The FTX Recovery Trust oversees a $5 billion distribution, marking a significant increase from February’s $1.2 billion payout. Creditor classes receive between 54% and 120% of their claims. John J. Ray III leads the process, emphasizing a coordinated effort to recover and distribute assets. Payouts are determined by the asset value at the November 2022 bankruptcy date.
“These first non-convenience class distributions are an important milestone for FTX. The scope and magnitude of the FTX creditor base makes this an unprecedented distribution process, and today’s announcement reflects the outstanding success of the recovery and coordination efforts of our team of professionals.” — John J. Ray III, Plan Administrator of the FTX Recovery Trust.
Crypto to Cash Conversions Raise Liquidity Concerns
Market Liquidity Concerns arise from FTX converting crypto to cash, potentially affecting BTC, ETH, and SOL markets. Industry observers watch for shifts. Financial impacts include no gains from crypto appreciation since 2022. The distribution enhances transparency in bankruptcy proceedings and creditor recoveries.
FTX Payout Compared to Mt. Gox Bankruptcy
Compared to Mt. Gox payouts, this FTX event processes large-scale claims in fiat terms. Both events shape future crypto bankruptcy handling norms. Histories indicate potential long-term market stabilization, as structured repayments increase creditor confidence, despite short-term liquidity pressures.
