FTX debtors will assess values of crypto claims based on petition date market prices
The debtors of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX have filed an amended Chapter 11 plan of reorganization which indicates the value of customer asset claims will be retroactively set to the time when the exchange collapsed in November 2022.
In a recent court filing in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware the debtors outlined that any customer entitlement claim, regardless of type of nature, against the exchange aimed at compensating the holder will bebased on the value as of the petition date.
On November 11, 2022, FTX and 130 affiliate companies filed for bankruptcy.
However, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) at the time of filing was $17,036. Meanwhile, at the time of publication, the price stands at $42,272.
Meanwhile, last month, on November 30, FTX was approved to sell approximately $873 million of trust assets, with the proceeds intended to repay creditors of the collapsed exchange.

Joseph Moldovan, chair of business solutions, restructuring, and governance practices at Morrison Cohen — a New York-based law firm — previously told Cointelegraph that the FTX bankruptcy is fairly complex.
“What’s most unusual about the FTX bankruptcy is that the debtors are complex entities with significant amounts of debt,” he stated.

If there’s one thing the past 24 hours has confirmed, it’s that it’s still Donald Trump’s world, and we’re all just living in it.
In the aftermath of the Alaska meeting, the US president’s deal-making skills came under question when he seemingly walked away empty-handed.
But it was clear he had retained his ability to catch everyone off guard, as a meeting between him and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy unexpectedly became a last-minute White House peace summit.

The invitation to European leaders drifted out, and within hours, the cast list had grown to include six more, as world leaders dropped everything to fit in with Mr Trump’s unpredictable timetable.

Meanwhile, the meeting of the coalition of the willing – a Starmer and Macron-led group of Ukraine’s European allies – had a nervous feel to it as members resolved to stand firm with Ukraine – even if it puts them at odds with the US.
