Bankrupt crypto exchange FTX is preparing to present plans to resume operations: When will the plans be submitted?

Bankrupt FTX Exchange to Be Relaunched

The Unsecured Creditors Official Committee responded to the FTX 2.0 Customer Transition Committee, providing insights into the details of the proposed amended restructuring plan. This event, scheduled for mid-December, is expected to reshape the fate of defaulted creditors.

As the bankruptcy proceedings progress, the defaulted FTX exchange is preparing to submit an updated restructuring plan to the court in mid-December. Recognizing different perspectives in asset valuation and distribution, the Official Committee emphasized in the letter that the proposed plan has the capacity to strike a balance among stakeholders’ interests.

However, ongoing activities like potential acquisitions, such as one by the Perella Weinberg financial services firm, which might occur during bankruptcy proceedings, will be formally presented to request court approval for sale. Concepts mentioned in the letter, such as recovery rights tokens referenced by the FTX 2.0 Customer Transition Committee, are currently being evaluated by both the Official Committee and potential transaction participants.

FTX and 101 of its 130 affiliated companies have decided to initiate a strategic evaluation of their global assets. The review is an attempt to maximize the recoverable value for stakeholders. However, FTX stated, ‘Perella Weinberg’s engagement is subject to court approval.’ The letter concludes by expressing the Official Committee’s willingness to continue collaboration with the FTX 2.0 Customer Transition Committee in the coming months.

FTX May Obtain SEC Approval

Gary Gensler, the chairman of the U.S. Securities Regulator, suggested that the revived FTX crypto exchange could obtain SEC approval if the new leadership adheres to legal boundaries. Gensler’s remarks came after news of the bankrupt crypto exchange considering a purchase by Tom Farley, former president of the NYSE, upon being founded by convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried.
