• The FTX global settlement ensures synchronized asset pooling for consistent and timely FTX.com customer distributions in U.S. and Bahamas proceedings.

In a significant development, FTX Trading and its affiliated debtors (FTX Debtors) have announced a FTX global settlement with Brian C.

FTX Global Settlement Reshapes Future for FTX Group

This historic agreement, outlined in a Global Settlement Agreement signed by all parties, seeks approval from both the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and the Supreme Court of the Bahamas. The FTX global settlement addresses intricate cross-border legal challenges arising from the collapse of the FTX group.

Under the agreement, FTX Debtors and FTX Digital Markets will collaboratively pool assets and coordinate distributions to FTX.com customers, ensuring consistent and timely payouts in both proceedings.

Customers, excluding insiders and specific excluded parties facing claims from FTX Debtors, will be given the choice to reconcile and receive payments either through the Chapter 11 cases of FTX Debtors or the Bahamas liquidation proceeding, with negligible economic impact intended.

Moreover, the FTX global settlement includes crucial provisions concerning the monetization of FTX group assets and interstate funding. Pending court approval, FTX Digital Markets will take the lead in managing the disposition of real estate and other assets in the Bahamas, along with pursuing identified litigation and avoidance actions.

FTX Debtors will spearhead all other recovery activities. The collaboration between the parties aims to efficiently utilize court assistance while maximizing recoveries for both customers and creditors.

This groundbreaking FTX global settlement demonstrates a novel and mutually beneficial solution to the complex legal challenges surrounding the FTX group’s collapse, setting a precedent for future cross-border financial resolutions.
