FTX Recovery Trust Backs Off Bid to Limit Payouts
FTX Recovery Trust drops its plan to limit payouts in restricted regions like China, affecting $380M in claims.
- FTX withdrew its proposal to cap payouts in restricted countries.
- $380 million in claims from China and others were impacted.
- The Trust may resubmit a revised motion later.
In a surprising turn, the FTX Recovery Trust has withdrawn its request to limit crypto bankruptcy payouts in several so-called “restricted” countries, including China. This move affects claims worth over $380 million and signals a potential shift in how international creditors may be treated during FTX’s ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.
The original proposal sought to prevent creditors from certain jurisdictions from accessing the same payout process as others, citing legal and regulatory complications. However, the backlash and complexity surrounding such a limitation may have led to this sudden pullback.
$380 Million in Claims on Hold—for Now
According to court filings, the affected regions include countries like China, which represent a significant portion of the claim pool. The proposal had initially raised concerns over fairness and equal treatment among global creditors, especially as some jurisdictions have strict crypto laws or restrictions.
While the Trust has currently shelved its motion, legal experts suggest this could be a strategic move. The FTX Recovery Trust left the door open to refile the motion later, possibly with modifications to address legal concerns or stakeholder feedback.
What This Means for Creditors
This development means that claimants from restricted regions, such as China, may still be eligible for full consideration—for now. However, with the potential for a revised motion on the horizon, uncertainty still lingers.
For now, the decision buys time for affected creditors and keeps the global payout landscape more inclusive. Stakeholders should remain alert for further updates as the FTX bankruptcy case continues to evolve.
