The court filing read:“The Debtors’ judgment is that proactively mitigating the risk of price swings will best protect the value of the Trust Assets, thereby maximizing the return to creditors and promoting an equitable distribution of funds in the Debtors’ plan of reorganization.”


The FTX debtors requested that the sale of trust assets and sale procedures should be approved by an investment adviser. Also, they proposed a pricing committee represented by the stakeholders to be part of the sale procedure.

The latest request by FTX debaters for the sale of trust assets comes after the court had earlier approved the liquidation of nearly $3.4 billion in crypto assets. The court ordered the sale of these assets in batches of $50 million and $100 million to avoid any market dump.


The FTX bankruptcy proceedings are moving along as the former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was found guilty by a jury on all seven counts during his criminal trial in New York. The former CEO was found guilty of two counts of wire fraud, two counts of wire fraud conspiracy, one count of securities fraud, one count of commodities fraud conspiracy and one count of money laundering conspiracy. The judge is set to order sentencing in the case on March 28, 2024.
