FTX Anticipates Full Repayment to Crypto Customers Amid Bankruptcy Proceedings

In a recent court hearing, FTX, the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange once overseen by Sam Bankman-Fried, expressed its commitment to fully reimburse its customers. This announcement comes against the backdrop of ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, where U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John Dorsey preliminarily approved a pivotal date marking FTX’s actual bankruptcy, coinciding with turbulent market conditions.

While FTX aims to honor its commitment, there is a point of contention among some claimants, given that the recovery of customer assets is tethered to the specific moment of FTX’s bankruptcy declaration. Kris Hansen, the lawyer representing the FTX Creditor Committee, acknowledged the challenge, stating, “Many of those claims are premised upon currencies which declined dramatically in value in that tumultuous period leading up to the petition date.”

Bitcoin’s market resurgence, currently priced at over $43,000, reflects a remarkable 110% increase from its value around $20,500 during FTX’s collapse in early November.

The repayment process under consideration in the U.S. bankruptcy court involves claimants submitting evidence of their holdings on FTX and subsequent losses, which will undergo scrutiny by restructuring advisers, as outlined by FTX lawyer Andrew Dietderich. In a shift of strategy, the defunct exchange has prioritized compensating former clients, abandoning plans to relaunch its platform due to a lack of buyers.

During the court proceedings, efforts were made to propel the case forward, allowing various creditor groups to secure approvals from individual investors for the latest approach to recouping their funds. Approximately 15 million individuals collectively lost an estimated $30 billion to $35 billion in various cryptocurrencies following FTX’s collapse, according to data from bankruptcy claims exchange Xclaim.

FTX’s native token, FTT, experienced an initial surge of over 11% following the announcement of the company’s repayment plans. However, it later faced a notable decline, closing the day down approximately 15% on Wednesday.

It is worth noting that Sam Bankman-Fried, the former head of FTX, faced legal repercussions last year, being found guilty of misappropriating customers’ funds before the exchange’s collapse in late 2022.
