Bankrupt crypto exchange FTX will pay out an additional $1.6 billion to creditors in its third major distribution, set to begin on Sept. 30, according to a Friday announcement.
U.S. creditors, who fall under Class 5B, will receive a 40% payout in this round, bringing their cumulative recovery to 95% of their claims since FTX’s collapse.
Meanwhile, international customers, who sit in Class 5A, are set to receive an additional 6%, reaching a total of 78% recovery.

BitGo, Kraken, and Payoneer will facilitate the payments, with funds expected in claimant accounts within one to three business days after Sept. 30, provided pre-distribution verification steps were completed.
It marks the third payout since FTX’s bankruptcy, taking total distributions to over $8 billion. Still, although $16.5 billion has been earmarked for distributions, some creditors are unhappy with the bankruptcy estate using Nov. 2022 prices for crypto assets to determine their payout value.
