FTX's repayment process for creditors begins in February 2025, prioritizing those with claims under $50,000, totaling around $1.2 billion. Creditors must complete verification forms by January 20 to qualify for initial payments, amid concerns over phishing scams and market volatility from asset liquidations, particularly in Solana tokens. The repayments could rejuvenate the cryptocurrency market, despite ongoing disputes regarding FTX EU's ownership.
