FTX payout stuck in Bangladesh? What it means and what you can do

If you live in Bangladesh, your FTX payout stops at the same place as in mainland China or Egypt: step 8, choosing a payout provider.

Where the payout stops

BitGo, Kraken and Payoneer are the only ways FTX pays creditors. FTX’s support page lists Bangladesh among the jurisdictions whose residents can’t select any of them; Nepal and the Maldives are on that list too. Until that changes, there is nothing to choose at step 8, and no payout.

The deadline

FTX says a creditor who doesn’t onboard with a payout provider within six months of the July 31, 2026 distribution may lose the right to their distributions. That window closes around January 31, 2027.

Two ways forward

• Wait. FTX gives no date for a provider in Bangladesh. If you can’t finish step 8 by January 31, 2027, FTX may cancel your right to payouts altogether, so waiting can end with nothing.
• Sell your claim. ClaimBao buys FTX claims from creditors in Bangladesh who pass KYC and pays in USDT or USDC. After the transfer, FTX pays us, so step 8 is no longer your problem.

How selling works

Send us your FTX customer code and the claim amount, and a person replies with a price. You pass a short KYC and sign a transfer agreement, and we file the notice of transfer with the US bankruptcy court. USDT or USDC reaches your wallet on the date written in the agreement.
