Bitfinex has taken new steps to reimburse accountholders who lost funds in an exchange breach earlier this year.
In a blog post this week, the troubled exchange announced two special purpose vehicles (SPVs) would be made available to accountholders for the purpose of exchanging digital assets for interest in iFinex Inc, Bitfinex's parent company. The exchange issued the assets, called BFX tokens, to accountholders after suffering a 120,000 BTC ($72m) hack on 2nd August.
One SPV, the exchange said, was created in partnership with crowdfunding platform BnkToTheFuture, while another was part of an effort organized by investor Alistair Milne. Both SPVs will allow accountholders to exchange BFX tokens for $1 beneficial interests in iFinex, it said.
