The unexpected move has sparked concern and frustration among creditors\u2014especially in regions where cryptocurrencies are heavily regulated or banned.<\/p>\n

According to a new filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, these 49 jurisdictions have been officially labeled as \u201cRestricted Foreign Jurisdictions.\u201d The list includes China, Russia, Ukraine, and several countries across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Refunds to these regions will no longer follow the standard distribution process. Instead, all claims will be flagged as contested, which could delay or even block payments indefinitely unless creditors pursue further legal action.<\/p>\n

Court Approval Required to Resume Payments<\/h2>\n

FTX is now seeking court authorization to proceed with payments to users in these restricted areas. Until a decision is made, funds will remain frozen. If the court approves the request, payouts will resume under a special framework. However, if the motion is denied, creditors may be forced to file objections and navigate a prolonged legal path to recover their assets.<\/p>\n

This marks a significant setback for thousands of users who have been waiting since FTX\u2019s shocking collapse in November 2022. While a second round of payouts\u2014valued at approximately $5 billion\u2014was launched in May 2025, this latest development threatens to derail repayment efforts for a sizable portion of global claimants.<\/p>\n
