<p>In a long-awaited move, the defunct <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/mt-gox-investment-funds-bitcoin-hold-fuels-debate-over-crypto-market-stability/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency </a><a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/mt-gox-investment-funds-bitcoin-hold-fuels-debate-over-crypto-market-stability/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">exchange</a><a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/mt-gox-investment-funds-bitcoin-hold-fuels-debate-over-crypto-market-stability/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Mt. Gox</a> is finally set to begin repaying its users who lost funds during the infamous 2014 hack. The exchange, which once handled over 70% of all Bitcoin transactions, lost a staggering 850,000 bitcoins at the time—equivalent to a jaw-dropping $15 billion in today’s prices.</p>
<p>The rehabilitation trustee for Mt. Gox, <a href="https://twitter.com/mtgoxwhale?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Nobuaki</a><a href="https://twitter.com/mtgoxwhale?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Kobayashi</a>, recently announced that repayments will commence in July 2024. The plan is to distribute assets stolen from clients in the form of both Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin cash (BCH). However, before the payments can go through, due diligence and safety measures will be rigorously applied.</p>

<p>For early investors who suffered losses, this development brings a mix of relief and anticipation. Many of them acquired their Bitcoin holdings before 2013 when prices were significantly lower.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a result, they now find themselves in possession of assets valued much higher than their initial entries. Understandably, some may choose to sell at least a portion of their holdings, potentially adding selling pressure to <a href="https://bitcoin.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-long-awaited-repayment-plan">The Long Awaited Repayment Plan</h2>
<p>The repayment plan has been in the works for several years, with trustees working diligently to ensure a fair distribution. Last year, a Tokyo court set an October 2024 deadline for the process.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In May, <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/mt-gox-repayment-drama-creditors-left-hanging/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mt. Gox made </a><a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/mt-gox-repayment-drama-creditors-left-hanging/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">headlines</a> by moving over 140,000 BTC (worth approximately $9 billion) from cold wallets to an unknown address in 13 transactions. These on-chain wallet movements marked the first such activity in five years.</p>
<p>As the news broke, bitcoin prices experienced a slight dip—from over $62,300 to just under $62,100. Nonetheless, the prospect of restitution for thousands of investors who suffered losses in the hack is a significant step forward for the crypto community.</p>
