Mt. Gox, the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange, has recently made progress in repaying its creditors, distributing digital assets to 17,000 claimants as of July 31.
Nearly half of the Bitcoin owed to Mt. Gox creditors has been distributed, yet many are still holding onto their assets even after a decade of waiting.
A decade after the collapse of Mt. Gox, creditors have finally started receiving their Bitcoin (BTC) repayments, facilitated by the US-based exchange Kraken.
Kraken has completed the repayment process for Mt. Gox creditors without triggering the expected Bitcoin sell-off.
Mt. Gox, a Japanese crypto exchange that collapsed in 2014, continues to transfer significant amounts into Bitcoin (BTC) as part of a plan to repay its obligations to creditors.
10 years after the collapse of Mt. Gox, the crypto exchange is again one of the most discussed topics in the crypto space.
The repayment of Bitcoin by the now-defunct Mt. Gox exchange is expected to create significant selling pressure, potentially pushing Bitcoin prices down.
Bankrupt Japanese crypto exchange Mt. Gox has transferred 47,229 BTC (worth approximately $2.71 billion) into a new wallet, making its first significant transaction since May.
After 10 years of waiting, investors in bankrupt crypto exchange Mt. Gox will soon start getting their money back.
CoinShares analysts believe that concerns about the impact of the Mt. Gox payout on the crypto market are likely overblown.
