Creditor Payouts

Definition

Creditor payouts refer to the distribution of funds or assets to individuals or entities owed money, often following a bankruptcy or liquidation event. In the context of digital assets, this typically involves the return of cryptocurrency or fiat currency to users whose funds were held by a now-insolvent exchange or lending platform. The process is governed by legal frameworks and can be complex due to the global and decentralized nature of digital assets. These payouts aim to compensate affected parties according to established legal claims.
