FTX Client Payouts: Here’s the Process   


The first payouts will go to “convenience classes,” a group of creditors ranked according to the Reorganization Plan. These payments are expected to begin within 60 days of the Plan taking effect.

imelines for other creditor classes will follow soon.

John J. Ray III, CEO of FTX Debtors, shared:

The Plan becoming effective in January 2025 and the start of distributions are reflections of the outstanding success of the recovery efforts. We are well positioned to begin executing the distribution of recoveries back to all customers and creditors.

FTX has partnered with BitGo, a global digital asset custodian, and Kraken, a U.S.-based crypto exchange accessible in 190 countries, to handle the payout process.
