FTX cryptocurrency exchange will distribute $5 billion in stablecoins to creditors by May 2025 as part of the bankruptcy repayment plan approved by the court.
Total claims by creditors amount to $11.745 million, with anticipated recoveries between $14.459 million and $16.254 million, resulting in a recovery rate of 123% to 138%.
Creditors express frustration over the payout structure based on 2022 asset valuations, which do not reflect the significant growth in cryptocurrency prices since then.
The distribution of stablecoins marks a first in crypto bankruptcies, with creditors receiving payouts in phases based on claim amounts, while critics urge for a more accurate reflection of current asset values.
