Mt. Gox, the infamous Bitcoin exchange that lost over 850,000 BTC in a <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/bitcoin-during-mt-gox-vs-ftx-collapse-will-it-survive-the-crash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2014 hack</a>, will start repaying its defunct users. The rehabilitation trustee stated that repayments in Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) will commence in July 2024, bringing a sense of closure to investors who have waited over a decade for repayments.

The announcement has had an <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/are-bitcoin-bears-aiming-to-lower-the-price-to-60k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">immediate effect</a> on the Bitcoin market. Following the news, Bitcoin dropped straight to $60,567, falling over 4.37% in the last 24 hours. This decline reflects the market’s concern over potential selling pressure as large amounts of BTC are reintroduced into circulation.&nbsp;
On May 28, wallets associated with Mt. Gox <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/mt-goxs-staggering-3b-bitcoin-transfer-stirs-up-market-fud/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">transferred</a> over 140,000 BTC, valued at approximately $9 billion, to an unknown address. This transfer created mixed sentiments in the market, resulting in a minimal trading month in June.

The repayment plan, initially scheduled for October 31, 2024, has been eagerly anticipated by the crypto community. The adjustment to an earlier date signifies progress in the long-standing legal and financial processes surrounding Mt. Gox’s collapse.
Mt. Gox, once the world’s leading Bitcoin exchange, was hacked in 2014 and lost over 850,000 BTC. After years of legal battles, Japanese authorities approved a rehabilitation plan in 2021, allowing creditors to recover some of their lost funds through a process called “civil rehabilitation.”
