Crypto Prices Fall As Filings Show Top 50 Creditors Are Owed $3.1 Billion

Cointime Official

A list of the top 50 creditors of the FTX group of companies has been filed with the bankruptcy court, and the sum total amounts to $3.1 billion.The top two creditors are owed $226 million and £203 million. None of the names of the creditors are included in the list, in line with a request by FTX to shield its clients’ identity for reasons of business competitiveness.

Today’s filing uncovers the first concrete details relating to the shape of FTX companies’ liabilities, which are thought to amount to around $10 billion.

The top 10 creditors alone are owed $100 million-plus each and are likely to include hedge funds and other financial companies that traded on the exchange, as well as crypto entities such as lenders.

FTX could have as many as one million creditors and arguments over debt seniority will determine which ones will be paid first.

Also, the delay in producing the list, which is a requirement of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, has been due to the parlous state of FTX companies’ records.

Crypto markets and equities tied to the industry felt the pressure last week as the situation around crypto exchange FTX continued to unravel.

Bitcoin is down about 1% over the past seven days while ether is down roughly 6%.

Crypto-related stocks largely suffered a tough week as well.

The commitment was reached after meetings between senior US government leaders and Ukrainian leadership, marking a potentially significant step toward increasing regional oil shipments.

  • Trump: Data Centers May Be More Important Than Oil

    August 7 news, U.S. President Trump said in an interview with Punchbowl News, "I saw the other day that Texas seems to be opposed to building data centers. I think that's a mistake. I'm not taking a position—I just think it's a mistake, because there are other communities that want to build data centers. When a community is willing to accept data centers, it means a lot of money will flow into that community. I don't think they're ugly. Some of the data centers I've seen are the most incredible buildings I've ever seen. They are very important to the economy. If Texas says no to data centers, that's a mistake, because data centers may be more important than oil."
