Bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX is aggressively pursuing the recovery of its assets through legal channels, recently filing lawsuits against NFT platform NFT Stars and metaverse project Delysium. The move, announced via an X post on April 28th, underscores FTX’s commitment to reimbursing its creditors following its dramatic collapse.
(1/3) FTX today announced that to recover estate assets, FTX has commenced legal action against certain token and coin issuers which own FTX assets and have been unwilling to engage.

The lawsuits, lodged in a Delaware bankruptcy court, allege that both NFT Stars and Delysium failed to deliver digital tokens for which FTX had already paid. According to court documents, FTX made multiple attempts to resolve the outstanding deliveries with both companies privately, but these efforts proved unsuccessful.
Alleged Non-Delivery of Tokens Fuels FTX Lawsuits
FTX claims that in November 2021, it paid NFT Stars $325,000 for 1.35 million SENATE tokens and 135 million SIDUS tokens. Similarly, the lawsuit against Delysium involves a $1 million payment made in January 2022 by FTX’s trading arm, Alameda Research, for 75 million AGI tokens. The agreement stipulated a phased release of the AGI tokens, initially scheduled to commence in April 2023.

FTX Seeks Token Delivery and Compensation for Lost Profits
The planned distribution timeline for the AGI tokens was subsequently extended to 48 months before being halted entirely due to FTX’s bankruptcy in November 2022. In its legal filings, FTX is not only demanding the delivery of the remaining contracted tokens from both NFT Stars and Delysium but is also seeking additional financial compensation to cover the potential profits the exchange missed out on due to the non-delivery.
FTX has indicated that its pursuit of asset recovery will not end with these lawsuits. The company stated that it is actively engaging with other entities facing similar issues regarding FTX’s assets and will not hesitate to initiate further legal action against non-cooperative parties. As of press time, neither NFT Stars nor Delysium had issued any public response to the allegations.
