The cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which collapsed in November 2022, officially began the reimbursement process to its creditors on February 18, 2025. This first phase prioritizes clients with claims of less than $50,000, who will receive approximately 119% of the value of their claims, including an annual interest of 9% accrued since November 2022. The payments, managed by BitGo and Kraken, total $1.2 billion and are expected to reach 162,000 accounts within 1 to 3 business days. This step marks a milestone in the recovery of trust in the crypto sector following one of the largest financial scandals in history.
