FTX Customers Given Deadline to Submit Bankruptcy Claims and Vote on Restructuring Plan

FTX customers, along with customers of Alameda Research and affiliated companies, have been given until September 29 to submit claims against the bankruptcy estate and participate in voting on the Chapter 11 restructuring plan. The claim process requires specifying the type of asset (cryptocurrency, fiat, or NFT) and stating the value in U.S. dollars. Former customers will receive an email with a link to the Customer Claims Portal for this purpose. It is worth noting that FTX’s European and Japanese entities, which held segregated accounts, are not included in the list of debtor companies eligible for claims. Japan had been considered a favorable location for FTX customers due to its regulatory environment, which mandates the use of third-party custodians following the Mt. Gox incident.
