Travis Kling believes this decision depends on the opportunity cost: whether to bet that the debt market prices will continue to rise or to retrieve some funds at a discount and invest in other products for returns. Ikigai sells tens of millions of dollars in FTX bonds.
Cryptocurrency asset management firm Ikigai Asset Management's founder, Travis Kling, tweeted that due to the significant recovery in FTX bond market prices compared to expectations six months ago, Ikigai achieved a satisfactory price and sold $65 million in claims in the FTX bankruptcy case.
Ikigai had not disclosed how much funds were locked on FTX previously, but this amount appears to be substantial. After receiving the funds, Ikigai will continue to operate its existing investment business, open subscriptions to new investors, and establish new risk mechanisms to prevent a recurrence of the FTX incident.

Travis Kling states that this decision hinges on opportunity cost: whether to bet on the continuous rise of the debt market prices or to retrieve the original funds at a discount and invest in other products for returns.
However, he refrains from offering any advice as everyone's situation is different.

Travis Kling has previously shown great interest in FTX 2.0, but he believes that the FTX bankruptcy team has performed poorly, leading to slow progress. Waiting for FTX 2.0, in his opinion, is now meaningless.
