FTX and BlockFi Reach $874.5 Million Settlement Agreement
The tentative deal, awaiting court approval, aims to resolve disputes stemming from the 2022 collapses and could significantly benefit BlockFi's customers.
- BlockFi and FTX have reached a tentative agreement to settle all litigation and disputes, with BlockFi set to receive a total of $874.5 million in claims against FTX and Alameda Research.
- The settlement includes a $250 million secured claim, ensuring priority payment to BlockFi once FTX's reorganization plan is approved by creditors.
- BlockFi customers are expected to receive full value for their claims as long as FTX meets its distribution goals, potentially allowing for a second interim distribution in the near term.
- FTX will waive all settlement claims against BlockFi, which in turn will support and vote in favor of FTX's reorganization plan.
- The agreement marks a significant step towards resolving the legal battles following the 2022 market crash that led to the collapse of both companies.
