LayerZero (ZRO) has announced its settlement with FTX’s bankruptcy proceedings, following a protracted legal struggle. CEO Bryan Pellegrino confirmed that the process is now over, allowing the team to concentrate on advancing their projects.

In 2022, prior to FTX’s bankruptcy filing, LayerZero had reached an agreement with Alameda Research. Under this agreement, Alameda returned its 5% stake in LayerZero in exchange for the cancellation of a $45 million debt owed to LayerZero. However, FTX’s bankruptcy estate filed a lawsuit against LayerZero, claiming this transaction occurred during Alameda’s financial collapse.

FTX argued that at the time of the lawsuit, the shares LayerZero received were worth $150 million, and the deal took place during a financial crisis. Additionally, a separate deal involving Alameda selling 100 million Stargate (STG) coins to LayerZero for $10 million, which was not completed, was also included in the lawsuit.
