FTX Launches Claim Portal for Creditors

As promised, the bankrupt digital currency trading platform, FTX Derivatives Exchange has launched a ‘Claim’ portal that will enable all of its creditors to officially file claims as one of the first steps towards recovering their locked funds from the trading platform.

The move comes on the back of more than $7 billion recovered by the current FTX management.

The FTX Claim Portal

Based on the general update, the claim portal is accessible via the claims.ftx.com platform. The user interface of this portal is simplified in a one-pager to enable anyone to navigate the platform easily.

As pointed out, the portal will allow former FTX Exchange users to access their FTX account information, obtain historical information, and submit an electronic proof of claim in the FTX Chapter 11 proceedings. While it is largely uncertain how much percentage claims will be made available to each user, the move has sent renewed optimism to users who had their assets locked on the exchange when it went bankrupt back in November last year.

The process of registering the claims involves 5 crucial checks that must be fulfilled. These steps include; account information authentication; account information confirmation of balance, and if necessary, submission of electronic proof of claim with the FTX Debtors’ claims and noticing agent (Kroll Restructuring Administration); KYC authentication, and; account balance review as of November 11.

The implosion of FTX sent shockwaves that impacted both retail and institutional investors with the aftermath forcing some Investment managers like Genesis to go bankrupt as well. This claim will bring much-needed succor to many and will trail related moves by the firm’s Japanese subsidiary.

The FTX2.0 Reboot

The current management of the FTX exchange under the leadership of John Ray III is planning to relaunch the international outfit of the trading platform in what is termed FTX2.0.

While the plan was greeted with much skepticism when it was first unveiled, the steps being taken by Ray over the past couple of weeks have been sending a positive signal to members of the crypto community on the possibility of the venture. 

The launch of the claim portal and the wooing of prospective investors and partners comes off as a promising move that might eventually fuel the re-emergence of the FTX brand.
