Mt. Gox, the cryptocurrency exchange that collapsed in February 2014, has begun the process of repaying its creditors after nearly a decade.
Lookonchain, a prominent blockchain analytics platform, reported today that Mt. Gox has transferred 0.021 BTC, roughly worth $1,390, into a new wallet. This small transfer is likely a preliminary test transaction as the exchange prepares to continue paying its obligations to creditors.
Additionally, on July 5, approximately 1,545 BTC worth around $99 million were transferred to the Japanese exchange Bitbank, and another 1,157.1 BTC worth $63.6 million were sent to an unidentified party.
On July 16, approximately 48,641 BTC worth $3.11 billion were transferred to an address believed to be on Kraken.
