The post FTX Liquidation Trust details Mar 31 payout after $2.2B cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

$2.2B payout on March 31, 2026 for KYC-complete creditors The FTX Liquidation Trust is expected to distribute approximately $2.2 billion to eligible creditors on March 31, 2026, as reported by KuCoin (https://www.kucoin.com/news/articles/ftx-creditor-rep-next-distribution-round-expected-on-march-31-2026). Eligibility is expected to depend on completed identity and tax compliance, reconciled claim status, and inclusion on the official register as of the applicable record date. Timelines and amounts remain subject to court processes and operational readiness. Creditors with unresolved or noncompliant claims may not be included in this tranche, based on standard bankruptcy distribution mechanics.

Residual uncertainties include pending claim resolutions and any court-required adjustments to reserve sizing. As those items clear, the Trust can reallocate cash from reserves to distributions in subsequent rounds. Pre-distribution steps typically include KYC verification and required tax forms with the designated payout provider. Creditors that have not completed these steps or whose claims remain disputed risk missing this round, according to FinanceFeeds (https://financefeeds.com/ftx-faces-fresh-pushback-as-2-2-billion-in-creditor-claims-remain-stuck/). Record dates fix entitlement snapshots for the register used to issue payments. Changes after the date generally do not affect that round’s ledger, so operational readiness before the cutoff is important. Payout mechanics, claim sizes, and distribution providers Claim landscape: small vs. larger claims within ~$9.6B reconciled pool Reconciled claims are approximately $9.6 billion, segmented between small claims under $50,000 and larger or non-customer…
