#FTXRefunds FTX has initiated its second major round of customer refunds as part of its bankruptcy recovery plan. On May 30, 2025, the FTX Recovery Trust began distributing over $5 billion to eligible creditors, focusing on those with larger claims exceeding $50,000 .
Refund Timeline & Eligibility
Initial Distribution: Commenced on February 18, 2025, targeting the "Convenience Class"—creditors with claims of $50,000 or less. These individuals received 100% of their claim value plus 9% interest, calculated from November 11, 2022, to the payment date .
Second Distribution: Began on May 30, 2025, for larger creditors. Funds are expected to be received within 1 to 3 business days through selected distribution service providers .
Requirements for Receiving Funds
To qualify for the May 30 distribution, creditors needed to:
Complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification.
Submit valid tax forms.
Select and onboard with a distribution service provider (e.g., Kraken or BitGo).
Pass sanctions screening by the record date of April 11, 2025 .
Failure to meet these requirements by the specified deadlines could result in forfeiture of the right to distributions.
Total Recovery & Distribution Plan
FTX has recovered between $14.7 billion and $16.5 billion through asset liquidations, subsidiary sales, and legal settlements . The reorganization plan aims to repay 98% of users more than their claimed account value. However, repayments are based on the USD value of deposits from November 2022, meaning customers have missed out on subsequent cryptocurrency market gains .
Next Steps
If you are an FTX creditor and have not yet received your refund:
Ensure all required steps, including KYC verification and tax form submission, are completed.
Monitor communications from your selected distribution service provider for updates on fund disbursement.
