FTX collapsed last November after CoinDesk published revelations concerning the state of its balance sheet. New CEO John J. Ray III has excoriated financial controls at the company, and founder Sam Bankman-Fried is on trial for criminal charges.
A debtors group is in control of bankruptcy proceedings and holds assets held by the two firms before they went bust.
Earlier in October, the group staked over $150 million worth of ether and Solana's SOL tokens, where they may receive yields of up to 8% on those holdings.
