FTX Creditor Payouts Could Inject $16 Billion Into Crypto Markets

• FTX’s $16B creditor payouts may fuel a crypto rally, outweighing recent market sell-offs like Germany’s Bitcoin liquidation.
• Bitcoin could surge to $80K–$100K in 2025 as institutions absorb inflows and bullish momentum extends into Q3 and Q4.
• Bitget’s campaign lures FTX creditors with up to $2,500 in rewards, boosting liquidity and restoring trust in crypto trading.

The cryptocurrency market anticipates a massive influx of funds as FTX begins creditor repayments totaling $16 billion. According to a report by Doctor Profit, this capital injection is significantly larger than the $3 billion in Bitcoin sold by the German government. 

Despite ongoing market fear and negativity, this bullish development remains underappreciated by many analysts. The disbursement of these funds could trigger a substantial market rally, contrasting with the prevailing bearish sentiment.

Potential Market Impact of FTX Repayments

Besides reducing uncertainty, the return of funds to former FTX investors could drive major price surges. Market makers may act strategically to absorb these inflows at peak valuations. Doctor Profit outlines two primary scenarios.

In the first scenario, institutions could push Bitcoin’s price between $86,000 and $92,000 before creditor repayments. This move would ensure higher entry points before a market correction. Alternatively, bullish momentum may prevail in the second scenario, resulting in more gains during Q3 and Q4. As a result, Bitcoin may rise to between $80,000 and $100,000, continuing its upward trend till 2025. 

Moreover, this capital influx dwarfs recent market disruptions, such as the German Bitcoin sale. Crypto traders should recognize the long-term significance of these repayments. The reintroduction of $16 billion into circulation could restore market confidence, supporting higher price targets.

Bitget’s Strategic Campaign for FTX Creditors

Additionally, crypto exchange Bitget has launched a campaign to attract FTX creditors. The initiative offers up to $2,500 in rewards for users transitioning to its platform. Running from February 18 to March 5, 2025, this campaign aims to restore trust in the industry.

To participate, creditors must register on Bitget using the same email associated with their FTX accounts. Identity verification and claim submission are required. Once approved, users can deposit funds to unlock their incentives. The structure includes a 5% bonus on deposits between $0 and $2,000, while larger deposits qualify for fixed bonuses reaching $2,500.

80% of rewards are allocated as futures trading bonuses, with the remaining 20% credited to Bitget’s native BGB tokens. This structured incentive model could drive increased trading activity, further stimulating market liquidity.
