Quando una piattaforma crypto importante (come FTX, Celsius o BlockFi) dichiara bancarotta, l'investitore medio spesso scrive off i propri fondi. La logica sembra semplice: “Se l'exchange è chiuso, il mio saldo è effettivamente zero. Chi potrebbe volerlo?”
Eppure, dietro le quinte, un mercato nascosto da miliardi di dollari prende vita: il mercato del trading di reclami OTC. Mentre gli utenti retail passano anni ad aspettare che le procedure legali si concludano e rinfrescano costantemente i loro dashboard, grandi fondi istituzionali stanno silenziosamente acquistando in massa questi depositi congelati.

Cumulative payouts following the first four FTX rounds have reached 96.1%. The process seems nearly complete, but an analysis of court documents reveals that all liquid assets have already been distributed. The remaining capital consists of complex illiquid assets and legally disputed reserves. The final payouts are shifting beyond the 2029 horizon.
Here are the three main problems with the remaining tranches:
Hidden Confiscation (Forfeited Distribution) Kroll and PwC have unilaterally begun deducting creditors' funds for the "late provision of data" during the KYC process. Court records show precedents of a forced withholding of $58,713.11 from a creditor's scheduled tranche. To challenge such a confiscation, one would need to hire US lawyers at a rate starting from $1,000 per hour.The "Restricted" Trap by PwC Bahamas Bahamian liquidators are mass-blocking creditors from several jurisdictions (including Ukraine and Moldova). Accounts are sent into an endless loop of Source of Funds (SOF) checks with no deadlines. The official boilerplate response is: "accounts are based in countries affected by sanctions." While users spend months trying to prove the origin of their deposits, their funds remain frozen.Fragmentation of Payouts Until 2029 Based on the liquidators' dynamics and the Mt. Gox precedent, analysts have compiled a forecast of future distributions. You can expect micro-tranches spread out over years:
5th tranche (July 31, 2026): 10 – 15%
6th – 10th tranches (2027 – 2029): fragmented from 15% down to 5.3%
11th tranche (September 30, 2029): Final (~4%)
The June 16 Deadline and an Alternative Exit The final deadline for validation in the FTX Kroll KYC system is June 16, 2026. A lack of verification will lead to complete exclusion from the payouts.
Many creditors choose not to wait until 2029, opting instead for institutional OTC buyouts (for example, through funds like Reclaim Capital). The procedure of assigning claim rights allows you to:
Receive liquidity in USDT/USDC directly to your wallet within 24–72 hours.
Completely eliminate legal risks (Clawback lawsuits and Restricted statuses).
Important: The legal processing of the transaction through the court (Rule 3001(e)) takes 3 to 4 weeks. Institutional buyers will close their order books long before June 16, as it is technically impossible to execute a deal at the last minute.
