The funds will come from a $250 million pot LedgerX was planning to use in a regulatory bid to get approval to settle crypto derivatives without the use of intermediaries.
The contribution from LedgerX would provide a crumb of comfort for FTX's more than one million creditors. FTX's top 50 creditors are collectively owed about $3.1 billion, according to court documents from the bankruptcy filing.
LedgerX, which was acquired by FTX's U.S. wing in 2021, is one of the only entities under the FTX umbrella to remain solvent. The parent firm and scores of its subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy this month.
Neither LedgerX nor FTX immediately responded to requests for comment.

CORRECTION (Nov. 30 18:51 UTC): A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that FTX's more than one million creditors were collectively owed $3.1 billion. That $3.1 billion is actually owed to FTX's top 50 creditors.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
