Analysts Say FTX Repayments Will Not be Super Bullish for Crypto: Here is Why
Analysts from Presto Labs have said that investors’ enthusiasm over upcoming FTX repayments to creditors may be premature. They question whether the affected FTX users, who are set to receive roughly $16 billion in repayments, will consider investing the money into cryptocurrencies.
FTX’s Reorganization Plan Receives Court’s Approval
Earlier this week, the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved FTX’s Reorganization Plan nearly two years after the crypto exchange’s sudden downfall. Under the plan, eligible FTX creditors will get about 118% of their allowed claims. The repayments will happen within 60 days after FTX establishes the effective date.
As mentioned, FTX will distribute about $16 billion worth of assets, which are being held by numerous entities, including FTX Digital Markets in the Bahamas, the US Justice Department, and administrators of FTX Australia, among others.
Presto Labs Explains Why FTX Repayments May not Trigger Price Rallies
According to Presto Labs analysts, there is no certainty that creditors will inject that cash back into the crypto markets. They further claim that since FTX hasn’t established the “effective date” to start distributing funds, any potential impact on cryptocurrencies is not imminent.
Following the court’s approval of FTX’s repayment plan, the broader crypto market has dipped slightly in the past 24 hours. Data from CoinGecko shows Bitcoin has fallen 0.8% to $62,431, while Ethereum is trading at $2,476 after recording a 0.9% drop.
“The Dips Are Healthy,” Georgy Slavin-Ridakov Says
Executive officer at crypto payment company B2BINPAY, Georgy Slavin-Ridakov, insists that the recent dip in Bitcoin’s price is a healthy correction after the coin touched $64,000 last week. Given that the fourth quarter has historically been positive for digital assets, Georgy is optimistic that Bitcoin will hit $75,000 by December as institutional interest in cryptocurrencies continues to rise.
Meanwhile, Solana, which had a close connection with FTX and its CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, has dipped 0.3% today. It is one of the tokens that FTX will liquidate to compensate its creditors. Many fear that selling pressure from the exchange could cause SOL to dip further. Other cryptocurrencies to be liquidated by FTX include Serum, OXY, and MAPS.
