FTX Trading Ltd. and the FTX Recovery Trust announced<\/a> today that distributions under the FTX Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization will resume on May 30, 2025.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s designated **Distribution Service Providers**\u2014**BitGo** or **Kraken**.<\/p>\n

Details of the Second Distribution<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to FTX, eligible **creditors** should expect to receive funds from their chosen service provider within **one to three business days** following May 30. <\/p>\n

(2\/3) Eligible creditors should expect to receive funds from their selected distribution service provider within 1 to 3 business days from May 30, 2025. Additional details are available in FTX\u2019s press release here: https:\/\/t.co\/g8BX2KfbOu<\/a><\/p>\n

The process marks the first **non-convenience class distribution** under the plan and is guided by the **waterfall structure** defined in the reorganization blueprint. <\/p>\n

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%**.<\/p>\n

Plan Administrator **John J. Ray III** noted, \u201cThese first non-convenience class distributions are an important milestone for FTX.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scope and magnitude of the FTX creditor base make this an **unprecedented distribution process**, and today\u2019s announcement reflects the outstanding success of the recovery and coordination efforts of our team of professionals,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

Key Requirements and Next Steps<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

FTX has also reiterated that **customers** must complete several steps before becoming eligible for any current or future distributions. <\/p>\n

This includes **logging into the FTX Customer Portal**, completing **KYC procedures**, submitting necessary **tax documentation**, and onboarding with either **BitGo** or **Kraken**. <\/p>\n

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\u2019s **customer support team**.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

FTX Executives Sentenced: Where Are They Now?<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

FTX, once a dominant force in the **crypto exchange** space, collapsed in **November 2022** after facing a severe **liquidity crisis**. Within days, the company filed for bankruptcy, and its **CEO**, **Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF)**, stepped down and was later convicted and sentenced to **25 years in prison**.<\/p>\n

Among those affected was investor **Kavuri**, who claimed to have endured two years of financial distress after losing over **$2 million** in FTX\u2019s downfall. <\/p>\n

Legal proceedings against four other former FTX and **Alameda Research** executives wrapped up by the end of **2024**. This led to **Caroline Ellison** and **Ryan Salame** receiving prison sentences, while **Nishad Singh** and **Gary Wang** were given **time served**.<\/p>\n

FTX\u2019s 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**.<\/p>\n
