The bankruptcy of FTX has been a real earthquake in the history of the cryptosphere. It has deeply shaken investor confidence and revealed significant structural flaws within the industry. Nearly two years after its collapse in November 2022, the bankrupt exchange is back in the spotlight with an ambitious reorganization plan, recently validated by the American judiciary. This plan includes an unprecedented repayment to creditors, which will begin on January 3, 2025, with a promise of restitution of up to 118% of the declared debts. To orchestrate this operation, FTX relies on well-known players in the sector. Kraken, experienced in such procedures after having played a key role in managing the Mt.
