Liquidation Process Details
The court-ordered phased-out liquidation process allows FTX to sell digital assets exceeding $3 billion through an investment adviser in weekly installments, following predetermined rules. Initially, the cap is set at $50 million per week, with the potential to increase to $100 million and even $200 million per week with consent from the creditor’s committee and ad hoc committee, subject to court approval.
This ongoing liquidation process signifies FTX’s commitment to fulfilling its financial obligations as per the court’s orders.
