As a researcher with experience in the crypto industry, I find FTX’s latest Chapter 11 plan promising, especially considering the significant turnaround from their initial proposal and the recent market recovery. The potential repayment of 100% of bankruptcy claim amounts plus interest for non-governmental creditors is a substantial improvement from the earlier plan which only offered the value of assets at the time of bankruptcy.
FTX aims to reimburse 98% of its creditors with an amount exceeding their original claims by 118%, while the remaining debtors will be fully repaid and additionally compensated with “significant amounts in recognition of the value of their patience.”
The crypto exchange, which filed for bankruptcy on May 7, noted that the proposed plan was “still pending approval” from the Delaware Bankruptcy Court.
“John J. Ray III, FTX’s CEO and chief restructuring officer, expressed delight in presenting a Chapter 11 plan that would return 100% of the principal amount owed to non-governmental creditors, along with accrued interest,” is one way to paraphrase the original statement.
As a crypto investor, I was initially under the impression that FTX’s creditors would be reimbursed based on the value of their assets during the company’s bankruptcy filing in November 2022. However, there seems to be a shift in strategy now. Instead, it appears that a new approach is being considered.
Since then, the crypto markets have seen a resurgence, with Bitcoin (BTC) rising by over 200%.
FTX projected that the aggregate value of seized assets, transformed into liquid funds for creditor payouts, would fall somewhere between $14.5 and $16.3 billion.
Creditors with debts under $50,000 are the only ones who can take advantage of the proposed 118% recovery in bankruptcy proceedings, assuming it gets the court’s approval.
The proposed repayment would occur within 60 days after the effective date of the plan.
As a crypto investor, I’ve kept a close eye on FTX’s developments since they announced their restructuring plans in January. Contrary to some expectations, there’s no indication of a relaunch of their cryptocurrency exchange, which used to be one of the largest platforms by trading volume before it faced challenges.
This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
