<h2 id="mt-gox-s-repayment-deadline-is-october-2024">Mt. Gox’s repayment deadline is October 2024</h2> 
<p>The moves made by the defunct crypto exchange are ahead of its plan to return BTC holdings to creditors before October.</p> 
<p>The repayment deadline for the Mt. Gox trustee was initially postponed from October 31, 2023 to October 31, 2024, and according to previous reports for creditors who have already provided the required info, repayments were set to begin earlier this year, before October.</p> 
<p>The moves made by the exchange today when assets were transferred out of its wallets come after 5 years of inactivity. Arkham notes that the exchange still holds more than $9 billion worth of BTC.</p> 
<p>Mt. Gox crypto exchange was launched back in 2010, based in Tokyo. It gained huge popularity and became the largest BTC exchange by 2013, reportedly servicing 70% of all BTC trades all over the world.</p> 
<p>The exchange stopped all withdrawals in early 2014 when the business suspended trading. The site went offline and the company filed for bankruptcy protection after losing over 800,000 BTC.</p> 
<p>Today’s Bitcoin price drop comes following a sudden spike on May 27, as the coin hit the important <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/bitcoin-above-70k-as-the-us-celebrates-memorial-day/">$70,000 mark</a> on US Memorial Day.</p>
