FTX creditors set to receive $16B in October-November, potentially boosting crypto markets.
German Bitcoin sales of $1.5B have caused bearish sentiment, contrasting with upcoming FTX repayments.
Crypto analyst predicts Bitcoin prices may reach $80K-$100K with market inflow from FTX repayments.
On a recent X post, crypto analyst @DrProfitCrypto highlighted crucial information from newly released FTX bankruptcy documents. These documents suggest that creditors, including former investors and traders, are set to receive approximately $16 billion USD starting from October to November this year.

Market Response to FTX and German Government Actions
The analyst pointed out the contrast between the expected $16 billion USD inflow from FTX repayments and the German government’s recent Bitcoin sales. The German government has been selling off its Bitcoin holdings whic they originally obtained in 2013.
Over the past month, Germany has sold around 25,000 Bitcoin worth approximately $1.5 billion USD. This has contributed to a bearish sentiment, pushing the market into fear and sell phases.
Potential Market Scenarios
He also outlined two potential scenarios for the market in response to the FTX repayments. In the first scenario, market makers might pump the market hard to ensure the $16 billion enters at a peak, or at least at a high price before a correction. This could see Bitcoin prices reaching targets between $86,000 and $92,000 just before creditor repayments.
In the second scenario, the influx of funds could flood the market amid FOMO (fear of missing out) and euphoria, driving prices even higher. The analyst predicts bullish times for Q3 and Q4, with Bitcoin prices potentially reaching between $80,000 and $100,000 this year, extending into 2025.
Historical Context and Market Implications
FTX’s collapse in November 2022, triggered by reports of speculative crypto tokens and financial mismanagement at its affiliated firm Alameda Research, led to a surge of customer withdrawals and eventual bankruptcy.
The subsequent legal actions against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and top executives for misappropriating customer deposits further shook the crypto market. In contrast, the German government’s Bitcoin sales strategy, while significant, involves a much smaller sum.
Germany originally obtained nearly 50,000 Bitcoin worth over $2 billion at today’s prices. With recent sales reducing their holdings to 13,100 Bitcoin valued at $765 million, the impact is relatively minor compared to the potential $16 billion inflow from FTX repayments.
