FTX's $228M Settlement With Bybit Brings Conclusion of Epic Liquidation Closer

Summary

FTX has secured $228 million from Bybit as part of its bankruptcy settlement, including $175 million in assets and $53 million from the sale of BIT tokens. Originally, FTX sought $953 million from Bybit, claiming misappropriated funds. A federal bankruptcy court approved a plan estimating repayments to former FTX customers and creditors at an average of 118% of their holdings, although they will not benefit from the recent rise in crypto asset prices. Cash payouts are expected within 60 days. FTX's liquidation CEO announced a plan for full repayment of bankruptcy claims plus interest for non-governmental creditors, based on recovering $16.3 billion in assets.
