  • Genesis filed a claims estimate stating that FTX debtors are entitled to “$0.00”, a move aimed at accelerating the confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan.
  • FTX debtors were not invited to participate in the mediation process or given advance notice of the estimation procedures motion.
  • FTX submitted a motion to the United States Bankruptcy Court seeking relief from the automatic suspension of legal proceedings against Genesis.

In a saga that continues to unfold in the world of cryptocurrency exchanges and crypto lenders, the beleaguered bankruptcy case of FTX and Genesis takes a new twist. Central to the recent dispute is Genesis’ claims estimation that FTX is entitled to exactly “$0.00”, a move that the FTX debtors have not received well.

Genesis’s Controversial Claims Estimation

Genesis filed an estimation procedures motion on June 1, sparking immediate objections from the FTX debtors. The critical dispute stems from the fact that Genesis has argued that the FTX debtors are entitled to a total claim sum of “$0.00”. A move is necessary to expedite the confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan.

The issue raised eyebrows because just a month prior, FTX was seeking a whopping $4 billion from Genesis, a significant sum under the circumstances of bankruptcy. FTX’s claim originates from their argument that they represent the largest unsecured creditors in Genesis’s Chapter 11 cases. Hence, they argue that their involvement in the mediation process is not just necessary but crucial.

FTX asserts that they were given no advance notice of the estimation procedures motion filed by Genesis and that they were not invited to participate in the mediation. This exclusion has ruffled feathers as it directly contradicts Genesis’s statement suggesting that FTX had been kept informed throughout the proceedings.

FTX’s Response: Objection and Action

In response to the claims estimate and their apparent exclusion from the proceedings, FTX debtors objected in a court filing on June 2 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. They argue that the mediation is a “waste of estate resources” without their involvement and should not proceed without them.

Adding another layer to the ongoing saga, FTX’s legal team is taking proactive measures. As recently as May 3, FTX was seeking almost $4 billion from Genesis under bankruptcy laws allowing it to recoup “avoidable transfers” that occur in 90 days before a company declares bankruptcy. FTX debtors have since submitted a motion seeking relief from the stay — a request for the court to lift the automatic suspension on legal proceedings against Genesis — a standard procedure when a firm files for bankruptcy.

What Lies Ahead: A Hearing and A Resolution?

The dramatic unfolding of events between FTX and Genesis has significant implications for the parties involved and the broader crypto industry. A hearing on the motion submitted by FTX is scheduled for June 15, an event that observers will likely closely watch.

The outcome of this case will not only impact FTX and Genesis but potentially set precedents for future interactions between crypto lenders and exchanges amidst the complexities of bankruptcy law. As the worlds of digital currency and traditional financial regulation continue to intersect, cases like this remind us of the growing pains that such a disruptive industry is inevitably bound to face.

While the controversy persists, one thing is clear: the mediation process will be anything but straightforward, and FTX debtors will not be silenced without a fight. As this complex situation unfolds, the cryptocurrency world watches with bated breath, eagerly awaiting the subsequent development of this enthralling saga.
