CEO John Ray hailed this achievement as an \u201cunbelievable result,\u201d signaling the exchange\u2019s commitment to fully compensating its over 2 million customers.<\/p>\n<p>FTX is poised to amass approximately $16.3 billion in cash through the pending sale of its assets, exceeding its $11 billion debt to customers and other creditors, as reported by Bloomberg. While customers affected by the bankruptcy will receive full payments with interest, equity holders are unlikely to receive any residual amounts, according to court documents.<\/p>\n<h2>Potential Recovery for Creditors<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on their claim types, some creditors stand to recover up to 142% of their owed amounts, while most customers may receive 118% of their account balances at the time of FTX\u2019s bankruptcy filing. To aid in compensating certain creditors, FTX\u2019s restructuring advisers have proposed establishing a fund, reallocating funds that would have been earmarked for regulatory bodies. However, the timeline for this initiative remains uncertain, although payouts are anticipated in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Following the news, FTX Token (FTT), the exchange\u2019s native token, experienced a notable surge, reaching $2 and gaining over 33%, according to CoinMarketCap data. This market response underscores renewed confidence in FTX\u2019s recovery and its commitment to addressing the fallout from its bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>FTX faced collapse in November 2022 amidst allegations of embezzlement and misappropriation of billions of dollars in customer funds involving its owners and affiliated hedge fund Alameda Research. Founder Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to reimburse $11 billion, marking a significant legal and financial ordeal for the exchange and its stakeholders.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>250% Extra + $125 Free Chip!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only. 250% on 1st Deposit + $125 Free Chip<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/ftx-amasses-surplus-billions-to-reimburse-bankruptcy-victims\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Crypto News &#8211; iGaming.org ) Cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which faced bankruptcy in late 2022, has achieved a significant turnaround, surpassing the necessary funds to cover its losses incurred during its collapse.
