FTX Submits Reply to Address US Trustee’s Objection to Settlement Plan
FTX, the bankrupt crypto exchange, has submitted a “Reply” to support its Settlement Plan and address the objections raised by the US Trustee. The settlement procedure aims to address “Small Estate Claims” totaling approximately $176 million without the need for motions or notice to creditors. However, the US Trustee raised concerns over the lack of clarity in the definition of these claims and the inadequate information provided. They also objected to the high threshold of $10 million for a “small” claim settlement. In response, FTX plans to include the US Trustee as a “noticed party” and lower the maximum settlement value to $7 million. Monthly reports will be submitted to enhance transparency.
Key Points:
- FTX submitted a “Reply” to support its Settlement Plan and address the objections raised by the US Trustee.

Hot Take:
FTX’s response to the US Trustee’s objection demonstrates their willingness to address concerns and make revisions to the settlement plan. By including the US Trustee as a “noticed party” and lowering the maximum settlement value, FTX aims to improve transparency and ensure fair and reasonable settlements. However, it remains to be seen if these proposed changes will satisfy all parties involved. The resolution of this objection will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of FTX’s bankruptcy proceedings.
