FTX Trading Ltd. and the FTX Recovery Trust announced today that distributions under the FTX Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization will resume on May 30, 2025.
The forthcoming round, known as the **Second Distribution**, will be made to eligible creditors in the **Convenience** and **Non-Convenience Classes** who have completed all required steps, including **KYC verification**, **tax form submission**, and **onboarding** with one of FTX’s designated **Distribution Service Providers**—**BitGo** or **Kraken**.
Details of the Second Distribution
According to FTX, eligible **creditors** should expect to receive funds from their chosen service provider within **one to three business days** following May 30.
The process marks the first **non-convenience class distribution** under the plan and is guided by the **waterfall structure** defined in the reorganization blueprint.
Specifically, **Dotcom Customer Entitlement Claims** (Class 5A) will receive a **72% distribution**, **U.S. Customer Entitlement Claims** (Class 5B) will receive a **54% distribution**, **General Unsecured Claims** (Class 6A) and **Digital Asset Loan Claims** (Class 6B) will both receive **61%**, and **Convenience Claims** (Class 7) will be paid out at **120%**.
Plan Administrator **John J. Ray III** noted, “These first non-convenience class distributions are an important milestone for FTX.”
“The scope and magnitude of the FTX creditor base make this an **unprecedented distribution process**, and today’s announcement reflects the outstanding success of the recovery and coordination efforts of our team of professionals,” he added.
Key Requirements and Next Steps
FTX has also reiterated that **customers** must complete several steps before becoming eligible for any current or future distributions.
This includes **logging into the FTX Customer Portal**, completing **KYC procedures**, submitting necessary **tax documentation**, and onboarding with either **BitGo** or **Kraken**.
Customers who have opted for these service providers have effectively chosen to forgo direct **cash distributions** from FTX and instead receive payment through their selected provider. Any inquiries regarding fund availability should be directed to the provider’s **customer support team**.
As the process unfolds, FTX said it will continue to announce future **record** and **payment dates**. For transferred claims, only the **transferee officially listed** on the claims register will receive distributions, provided the **21-day notice period has passed** without objection.

FTX’s restructuring plan, approved in **October 2024**, prioritized repayments to users with claims under **$50,000**. Around **98% of affected users** will receive **119% of their declared funds**.
