U.S.-based fintech firm, Figure Markets has unveiled a specialized trading platform dedicated to FTX claims, designed to enhance liquidity and opportunities for creditors and investors impacted by the FTX bankruptcy. 
The new marketplace aims to streamline financial recovery for all parties involved, regardless of the size of the claim. Mike Cagney, co-founder and CEO of Figure Markets, highlighted the platform’s role in aiding those affected by the FTX disaster, particularly individuals with smaller claims.

Cagney stated, “Our new market for FTX claims will enable them to get their funds back quicker,” emphasizing the platform’s commitment to transparency and liquidity. 
The platform facilitates open visibility of bids, offers, and trades, allowing FTX creditors and potential investors to gain insights into market dynamics. It supports the trading of various FTX claim types, including Class 5, Class 7A, and Class 7B. 
Sellers of FTX claims can <a href="https://www.figuremarkets.com/trade/ftx-claims/?utm_source=X&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_campaign=FTX+Claims+June+11" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">assess their claim’s</a> value, undergo verification, receive bids, and finalize the sale within a few business days, receiving funds in USDC. This swift process contrasts with traditional estate division methods, offering faster transactions and increased transparency. 
Despite over $4 billion worth of claims being traded, representing only 0.2% of total customer claims, the platform suggests significant untapped market potential. 
FTX has preliminary agreed to settle a $24 billion claim with the IRS, including <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/06/05/ftx-settles-tax-dispute-with-irs-for-200m-amid-bankruptcy-proceedings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a $200 million priority tax</a> claim and a $685 million subordinated claim, pending court approval, aligning with their efforts to address legal challenges and improve claim recovery clarity. 
FTX’s proposed reorganization plan aims to fully reimburse valid creditor claims up to $50,000 at a rate of 118%, covering nearly 98% of all creditors. This strategic move reflects FTX’s commitment to rectifying past issues and establishing a credible organizational framework, crucial for resolving one of cryptocurrency’s significant financial cases. 
If approved, FTX’s reorganization plan could mark a pivotal step in addressing affected parties’ claims and rebuilding trust in digital currency financial management.
