In a significant development, defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX has unveiled a reorganization plan to reimburse almost all of its customers. The announcement has sparked a substantial surge in the exchange’s native token, FTT, which recorded an uptrend of 52% over the past seven days, reaching a monthly high of $2.29 during Wednesday’s early trading session. FTX Unveils Debt Repayment Strategy FTX estimates its outstanding debts to creditors to be approximately $11.2 billion, as revealed in the reorganization plan published late Tuesday. The company has disclosed that it possesses between $14.5 billion and $16.3 billion, which it intends to distribute among the creditors. Under the proposed plan, customers with $50,000 or less claims will receive approximately 118% of the allowed claim amount. This compensation is slated to be disbursed to around 98% of the creditors, relieving FTX customers who have experienced locked funds since the exchange filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2022.

Ray, speaking on the matter in November 2022, expressed his astonishment at the “complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information” witnessed at FTX. Ray further stated in the press release on Wednesday: We are pleased to be in a position to propose a Chapter 11 plan that contemplates the return of 100% of bankruptcy claim amounts plus interest for non-governmental creditors. FTX’s founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, faced legal consequences, being convicted on seven criminal counts, including charges related to embezzling billions of dollars from FTX’s customers. Bankman-Fried was subsequently sentenced to 25 years in prison. FTT Bulls Eyeing $2.55 For Potential Breakout Continuation As of the latest update, the price of FTT has corrected to $2.050 after reaching its monthly high. This breakout occurred after consolidation between the $1.17 and $1.48 levels. At the current price level, FTT faces a significant resistance at $2.169, which has led to the ongoing correction. If FTT sustains its bullish momentum, the next resistance level to watch is $2.55 in the token’s daily chart. A successful breakthrough of this level could potentially lead to a retest of the $3 mark, which has not been revisited since January.
