  • Larger creditors will receive payments from Q2 2025, with FTX distributing $7 billion initially.
  • Recovery rates vary by claim type, with overall expected recoveries ranging from 123% to 138%.

FTX has started repaying creditors today (Tuesday), beginning with those in the “Convenience Class.” This group includes creditors with claims of $50,000 or less.

These individuals will receive full repayment along with 9% annual interest accrued since November 2022.  FTX has partnered with BitGo and Kraken  to process the payments. Funds are expected to reach recipients within one to three business days after distribution begins.

Eligible creditors must complete KYC verification and submit tax forms to receive  payments . Those who miss the deadline can still qualify for later distributions.

Creditors with claims exceeding $50,000 will receive payments starting in the second quarter of 2025. FTX plans to distribute $17 billion in total, with $7 billion allocated for the first phase, CCN reported.

The repayments are part of FTX’s reorganization plan, which took effect on January 3, 2025. The plan follows a prolonged  bankruptcy  process and asset recovery efforts.

Creditor Recovery Estimates Show 123% Return

The FTX Creditor Recovery Summary outlines total claims of $11.75 billion across various creditor groups. Recovery rates vary, with secured and customer claims ranging from 100% to 142%. Estimated total recoveries stand between $14.46 billion and $16.25 billion, resulting in an overall recovery rate of 123% to 138%.

Dotcom and US customer claims show higher recovery rates, while administrative and secured claims are fully covered. Variations in total recovery stem from factors such as postpetition interest and remission fund recoveries. Some claim groups could receive more than their original claims.

If repayments include cryptocurrency and creditors sell their holdings, it could add selling pressure to the market. However, most repayments are expected in cash, which may limit the impact on FTX’s native token, FTT.
