According to the source, a post on X claims FTX will return $1.6 billion to creditors on September 30, but the post does not include an official court order or debtor notice to verify this date or amount (source: user-provided X post). Official distribution timelines for the FTX estate are communicated via the FTX Debtors' Kroll Restructuring portal and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware docket, which traders should check before taking positions (source: FTX Trading Ltd. Debtors Kroll portal; U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware docket). For trading preparation and risk control after official confirmation, monitor labeled FTX/Alameda wallets for transfers and market metrics—order book depth, funding, and basis—on BTC, ETH, and SOL around the stated date (source: Arkham Intelligence labels for FTX/Alameda; Binance and OKX market data dashboards; CME crypto futures data).

According to the source, FTX will begin its third round of creditor distributions on Sept 30, 2025, with payouts processed via BitGo, Kraken, or Payoneer and expected to settle within 1–3 business days, per the source post dated Sep 19, 2025. For traders, the disclosed timeline and channels specify when and where settlement flows are scheduled, per the same source; align monitoring to those venues during the payout window.
