The sale follows a March 2024 settlement with the defunct crypto exchange FTX, which provided BlockFi with over $874 million in claims against both FTX and its affiliate Alameda Research.

Following this settlement, the plan administrator received approval to monetize these claims through a third-party sale. The press release also indicates that BlockFi International creditors may need additional identity verification and KYC compliance in line with international standards.

The New Jersey-based company noted that distributions would be made “in batches in the coming months” via Coinbase, with eligible clients receiving notifications to their BlockFi account email.
However, non-U.S. clients will still be unable to receive funds due to regulatory constraints, with no specific timeline for these repayments.
