FTX recovers billions in payouts, but creditors say it’s not enough
FTX Recovery Estate began repaying creditors in February 2025 with $1.2 billion, followed by a $5 billion disbursement in May the following year. The third round of creditor repayments was distributed in September 2025 and amounted to $1.6 billion.
Despite recovering billions of dollars, creditors and former customers of the FTX exchange say they are concerned about the recovery plan.
Creditors and former customers were refunded according to the value of the crypto assets as of the petition filing date in 2022, when creditors and customers took legal action against the exchange.
The value of crypto assets was significantly lower at the time of the petition, with Bitcoin (BTC) trading at around $16,871 and Ether (ETH) at around $1,258 at the time.
“FTX’s creditors are not whole,” Sunil Kavuri, an FTX creditor and creditors’ attorney, said in response to the repayment plan.
