Özet

FTX will distribute about $900 million to eligible creditors on July 31, marking its fifth payout under its Chapter 11 plan. This brings total announced distributions across the second through fifth rounds to at least $9.7 billion, excluding an initial payment to Convenience Class creditors in February 2025. Following this distribution, cumulative payouts for Dotcom and U.S. Customer Entitlement Claims will reach 105%, General Unsecured and Digital Asset Loan Claims will hit 103%, and Convenience Claims will stand at 120%. The same day, $18 million will be paid to eligible preferred shareholders, bringing total distributions from that fund to $95 million. Creditors had to complete required steps by the June 16 record date to qualify.

FTX will distribute approximately $900 million to eligible creditors on July 31, marking the bankrupt crypto exchange’s fifth distribution under its Chapter 11 reorganization plan.

The latest payout will take announced distributions across FTX’s second through fifth repayment rounds to at least $9.7 billion. The figure excludes the initial February 2025 distribution to Convenience Class creditors, for which FTX did not specify an aggregate amount.

FTX creditors to receive another $900 million

FTX and the FTX Recovery Trust announced on July 17 that the fifth distribution will cover eligible holders of allowed claims across Convenience and Non-Convenience Classes.

To qualify, creditors must have completed the required pre-distribution steps by the June 16 record date. Eligible creditors should receive their funds through their selected provider.

Under the latest distribution, allowed Class 5A Dotcom Customer Entitlement Claims will receive an additional 9%, taking cumulative distributions to 105%.

U.S. Customer Entitlement Claims will receive an additional 5%, bringing the cumulative total to 105%. General Unsecured Claims and Digital Asset Loan Claims will each receive 3%, bringing their cumulative distributions to 103%.

Convenience Claims, meanwhile, will have received cumulative distributions of 120%.

Announced FTX distributions cross $9.7 billion

The latest announcement extends a creditor repayment process that began in February 2025.

FTX’s second distribution, completed in May 2025, involved more than $5 billion, followed by approximately $1.6 billion in September. The Recovery Trust subsequently announced another approximately $2.2 billion for its fourth distribution in March 2026.

Including the $900 million scheduled for July, FTX has therefore announced at least $9.7 billion across its second through fifth distributions.

The total amount distributed or scheduled since repayments began is higher, as that calculation excludes FTX’s first distribution to Convenience Class creditors in February 2025.

FTX has not yet announced the record or payment dates for its next distribution.

Preferred shareholders also set for second payment

The July 31 distribution will coincide with another payment to eligible FTX preferred equity holders.

The Preferred Shareholder Remission Fund Trust will distribute $18 million to eligible holders who met the requirements by the June 16 record date.

The latest payment will bring total distributions from the fund to $95 million.

FTX said additional details showing the amounts distributed by individual creditor classes will be filed with the bankruptcy court shortly after the July 31 payment.


Final Summary

  • FTX will distribute approximately $900 million to eligible creditors on July 31, bringing announced payouts across its second through fifth distribution rounds to over $9.7 billion.
  • Following the fifth distribution, Dotcom and U.S. customer claims will have reached 105% cumulative distributions, while Convenience Claims will stand at 120%.

FBI Agent Steals from Within: Millions in Cryptocurrency Stolen by Memorizing Recovery Phrases

A criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia details the case of Patrick Steven Yaroch, a former FBI supervisory special agent. Yaroch is accused of using his position to steal nearly $1 million in cryptocurrency from accounts associated with a "foreign adversary" (reportedly Russia) that were under FBI monitoring. He allegedly accessed the accounts' seed phrases from an FBI system, memorized them, and transferred the funds to personal wallets over 10-12 transactions in late 2024 or early 2025. Some stolen assets were held on the Kraken exchange and others were deposited into the Suilend DeFi protocol to earn yield. Despite his senior GS-14 position and high security clearance, Yaroch claimed his actions stemmed from frustration with the FBI's perceived inaction against the monitored accounts. However, evidence from his phone, including ChatGPT conversations from May and June 2026, revealed plans to move to Europe (specifically Portugal) with $1 million and retire early. He booked flights for his family and initiated steps for Portuguese residency. Tormented by guilt, Yaroch voluntarily confessed to the Justice Department and FBI in late July 2026, surrendering the seed phrase and a hardware wallet. He was immediately fired and arrested. He faces charges of interstate transportation of stolen property and receipt of stolen goods. The case highlights vulnerabilities within law enforcement, including excessive access to sensitive data like seed phrases, inadequate internal oversight, and the difficulty of detecting such insider theft on-chain. It echoes past corruption cases, such as those involving agents Carl Force and Shaun Bridges during the Silk Road investigation, where officials misappropriated Bitcoin. The incident underscores that human fallibility remains a critical risk in managing digital assets, even within heavily monitored agencies.

Inside a Fake Ledger: How a 4G Modem is Secretly Embedded in a Hardware Wallet

In a presentation at Hardwear.io 2026, hardware security expert Joe Grand detailed a sophisticated spy chip discovered inside counterfeit Ledger Nano X hardware wallets. Initially reported in 2021, these tampered devices reached victims through data leaked from Ledger in 2020 and subsequent phishing campaigns. The implanted board connects to the internal SPI bus, passively intercepting data between the Secure Element and the OLED display. Using pattern recognition, it "reads" the seed phrase words displayed during wallet setup or recovery, stores them in its flash memory, and then exfiltrates the data via a built-in 4G modem and eSIM, independent of the victim's computer. To fit the extra hardware, the attackers reduced the battery size and replaced a thermal sensor with a fixed resistor to fake a 100% charge reading. Grand noted this is not an isolated incident, with similar supply-chain attacks previously targeting Trezor devices where compromised firmware generated predictable seed phrases. The researcher plans to intercept and decrypt the chip's cellular traffic to learn more about the attackers. Ledger advises users to purchase devices directly from the manufacturer or authorized resellers, not third-party marketplaces, and to compare devices against official photos. The company is also considering enhanced physical security for future products. The article questions whether Ledger Live's Secure Element authentication would detect such a passive hardware implant and highlights that the core risk lies in the physical supply chain, not just software.
