From Ashes To Redemption: Bitcoin Exchange Mt. Gox Emerges From Ruins To Honor Debts
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
Mt. Gox, the defunct Bitcoin exchange, has announced plans to initiate cash repayments to creditors within 2023, with the process potentially extending into 2024. Rehabilitation Trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi has secured 7 billion yen from trust assets to facilitate repayments, with the remaining trust assets totaling 8.8 billion yen after repayments. This move is a significant step towards repaying all creditors after the exchange's collapse in 2014, which resulted in the loss of over 800,000 Bitcoin.
