Next week marks a big moment for the cryptocurrency community as FTX, the Bankrupt Derivatives Exchange begins its repayment process. With a huge $16 billion set to flow into the accounts of crypto traders, analysts anticipate significant buying pressure on both Bitcoin and altcoins.
For those who missed out on the August market crash lows, this could be a golden opportunity to invest in cryptocurrencies.
$16 Bln FTX Repayment To Begin
The upcoming repayments come as a result of the FTX collapse, where many traders faced significant losses due to the fraudulent actions of former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. In response to this, the firm amended its reorganization plan, opening the door for potential full repayment.
These highly anticipated repayments are expected to occur following one of three “omnibus hearings” scheduled for 2024. These hearings, scheduled for October 22, November 20, and December 12, will help organize the various claimants for repayment.
If the District of Delaware approves the Chapter 11 plan on October 7, payments to victims could be sent out before the year ends. However, for FTX customers who haven't submitted a claim yet, it's too late! The deadline to file paperwork was September 29, 2023.
Crypto To Flood With $16 Billion
As excitement builds, many believe this could lead to the BIGGEST BULL RUN EVER. Due to a significant portion of the $16 billion set for distribution will flow back into the market. This payout is unique because it returns money to individuals who are already invested in crypto.
However, many recipients are likely to reinvest their funds, particularly in popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Solana. This reinvestment could drive growth as the year comes to a close.
