- FTX initiates $5 billion creditor repayment with Kraken and BitGo.
- Significant event in crypto bankruptcy recovery.
- Market stability closely monitored amid repayment.
FTX, in partnership with Kraken and BitGo, began repaying $5 billion to creditors starting May 30, 2025, marking a significant step in the bankruptcy process.
The repayment represents a crucial phase in FTX’s recovery, reflecting broader market impacts as $5 billion liquidity enters cryptocurrency sectors.
The repayment process, managed by the FTX Recovery Trust, commenced as scheduled, with Kraken and BitGo as distribution partners. Payments are expected within 1 to 3 days and include major creditor classes.
Dotcom and U.S. Customers are receiving significant claim percentages, such as 72% and 54% respectively. Criticisms have emerged regarding the repayment being in fiat currency rather than original crypto assets.
The FTX collapse in November 2022 remains a major historical event. Market analysts are watching the liquidity influx closely, which may influence cryptocurrency prices and potential volatility.
Successful asset liquidation has enabled the payouts, including stakes in Anthropic and Robinhood. SOL and SUI tokens also contributed significantly to the available funds.
“Those who fail to complete the necessary onboarding or KYC procedures risk missing out on this and potentially future payout rounds,” said FTX Recovery Trust, a distribution partner of FTX.
Expert opinions highlight the repayment process as efficient, yet underscore the importance of meeting pre-distribution criteria. Eligible creditors face potential exclusion from future rounds without proper actions.
