FTX creditors are expected to be paid on March 31 after the February 14 cutoff date.

According to updates from Sunil, the representative closely monitoring the FTX creditor process, the asset distribution to FTX creditors will officially begin on 3/31/2026. This information provides important clarity for former users still awaiting asset recovery after the exchange’s collapse.

The update also confirms that 2/14/2026 is the (record date). Only creditors who complete all procedures before this date will be eligible to receive funds in the upcoming payout. Mandatory requirements include: KYC verification, submitting a W-8BEN (for non-U.S. citizens), and selecting a distribution provider.

Failure to complete any step before the deadline will result in the claim being excluded from the 3/31 payout and may have to wait for the next phase. Setting a specific payout date marks an important milestone as FTX’s bankruptcy process transitions into the actual asset distribution phase.
