Kroll has been appointed as the claims agent for the FTX/Alameda bankruptcy and published a preliminary list of interested parties, including banks, counterparties and suppliers.
Banks are groups with lenders, but most are likely to just be used for payments. The list includes numerous major banks such as Bank of America, JP Morgan, Silicon Valley Bank and Wells Fargo. Signature and Silvergate banks are both on the list and have both issued public statements on the topic. There are several major names in foreign countries as well. One of the interesting ones is Deltec, which is notorious as stablecoin Tether’s bank.

This seems odd given that Alameda was known to be the conduit for issuing roughly a third of Tether stablecoins. Cumberland is another organization that is a big conduit for Tether. It publicly stated it had a less than $10 million exposure to FTX but is not on the list of counterparties. But then the list is preliminary.
