FTX and Alameda Research Wallets Move $8.3 Million in Cryptocurrencies Ahead of Restructuring Proposal Deadline
In a recent development that has caught the attention of the cryptocurrency community, two wallets associated with the now-defunct FTX exchange and its sister trading firm, Alameda Research, have transferred a significant sum of cryptocurrency totaling $8.3 million. This transaction occurred just a day before the deadline for FTX debtors to submit an amended restructuring plan.

Concerns from FTX Creditors
Amidst these developments, some FTX creditors, particularly those part of the FTX Customer Ad-Hoc Committee—a group comprising over 1,500 creditors—have expressed concerns about the upcoming plan. A notable creditor, Sunil, voiced apprehensions through a social media post, warning that the plan might favor the debtors at the expense of the creditors. He highlighted potential clauses that could absolve certain parties from liability related to the collapse of FTX.
The resolution of FTX’s bankruptcy and the compensation of its creditors could be a protracted process, reminiscent of the Mt. Gox case, where users are still awaiting redress years after the exchange’s infamous hack in 2014. To date, FTX creditors have liquidated over $490 million worth of claims through 507 transactions, as per data from Claims Market.
