FTX and CFTC Reach $12.7 Billion Settlement, Hearing Scheduled for August 6
Crypto exchange FTX and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have agreed to a $12.7 billion settlement, pending approval from the bankruptcy judge. According to a court document filed on July 12 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, the parties have been negotiating for several months. The CFTC initially sought $52.2 billion in claims. As part of the settlement, the CFTC agreed not to receive any compensation as long as FTX complies with its restructuring plan. FTX will pay up to $12.7 billion to creditors, depending on available funds. The hearing on the settlement motion is scheduled for August 6. FTX filed for bankruptcy at the end of 2022. In May of this year, the FTX bankruptcy trustee announced a reorganization plan under which creditors will receive full cash repayment. Creditors with claims under $50,000 will be eligible for 118% repayment within 60 days of court approval.

The initiative aims to expand the scope of UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities), a market worth €12 trillion. This move could be a key step toward mainstreaming crypto assets in Europe, with financial regulatory expert Sean Tuffy describing it as a "game-changer." The ESMA consultation ends on August 7, with the decision yet to be made. Andrea Pantaleo, a lawyer at DLA Piper, noted that the impact could exceed that of U.S. ETFs, as many fund sectors may allocate some liquidity to crypto assets.
