FTX creditors can finally anticipate receiving their distributions starting on March 31, 2026. This announcement brings much-needed clarity to former users of the exchange who have been waiting for the recovery of their funds since the platform”s collapse.
The key date for creditors to note is February 14, 2026, which serves as the record date. Only those creditors who have completed all necessary steps by this deadline will be eligible for the forthcoming payouts.
To qualify for the distribution on March 31, creditors must adhere to three mandatory requirements before the cutoff date:
- Complete KYC verification
- Submit a W-8BEN form (for non-U.S. residents)
- Select a distribution agent
This record date effectively finalizes the list of approved recipients for the upcoming distribution. Creditors who fail to complete any of these steps by February 14 will be excluded from the March payout, which could lead to further delays in recovering their assets.
The confirmation of this payout date signifies a critical advancement in the FTX bankruptcy process. After over three years filled with uncertainty, the transition from legal proceedings to actual asset distribution is officially on track.
For eligible creditors, March 31, 2026, represents a significant milestone and the first tangible opportunity to reclaim their funds, provided all compliance and administrative tasks are finalized in time.
