The fifth round will distribute approximately $900 million to holders of allowed claims who completed all requirements by the June 16 record date.
Payments are being delivered through BitGo, Kraken and Payoneer. Eligible creditors were told to expect the funds within one to three business days beginning July 31.
An FTX creditor advocate known as Sunil on X reported that distributions had begun appearing in accounts. Some users confirmed receiving their funds, while others said nothing was visible through BitGo or their selected provider several hours later.

FTX gave providers up to three business days to process the payments, so differences in arrival time do not by themselves indicate a problem with the distribution.
Creditors who do not yet see their payment should compare the status shown in the FTX Customer Portal with the account held at their selected distribution provider.
FTX’s official provider guidance recommends checking the following:
Provider processing is not the only reason a payment may be missing.
FTX’s distribution FAQ says claims may remain disputed when a creditor’s jurisdiction is still under review or is not currently eligible for distributions.
Creditors in those locations may have completed their documentation but remain unable to receive funds until FTX approves a distribution route for their jurisdiction.
The fifth distribution applies different recovery percentages to each claim class:
These percentages are measured against the allowed US-dollar claim amounts recognized under the bankruptcy plan, generally using cryptocurrency values around the time of FTX’s November 2022 collapse.
They are not calculated against what the original Bitcoin, Solana or other digital assets would be worth today. A creditor receiving 105% of an allowed dollar claim may therefore still recover considerably less than the current market value of the cryptocurrency previously held on FTX.
The amount above 100% reflects interest or an additional recovery on the fixed bankruptcy claim, not repayment of the original assets at current prices.
FTX also scheduled a separate $18 million payment to eligible preferred equity holders. That money comes from the Preferred Shareholder Remission Fund Trust and is not part of the ordinary customer distributions.
Separately, the FTX Recovery Trust recently secured a partial procedural victory in its case against Binance and former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao.
The US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware allowed the trust to continue pursuing claims seeking the return of approximately $1.76 billion transferred during a 2021 share repurchase.
The transaction involved Binance selling its stakes in FTX’s international and US businesses back to companies controlled by Sam Bankman-Fried. The Recovery Trust alleges that FTX and Alameda Research were already insolvent and could not legally fund the repurchase.
Other claims linking Binance and Zhao to damages caused by FTX’s 2022 collapse were dismissed.
The ruling does not order Binance to pay $1.76 billion. It allows the central clawback claim to proceed beyond the dismissal stage.
Any recovery could still require discovery, further motions, a trial and appeals. The litigation has no direct bearing on the timing or funding of the current distribution, which uses assets already available under the approved bankruptcy plan.
The Binance case could affect later creditor recoveries only if the trust ultimately wins or reaches a settlement that produces additional distributable proceeds.
Creditors should therefore assess the current payment round through their claim and provider status rather than the separate Binance litigation.
