<p><a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/mt-gox-returns-36-btc-fund/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mt. Gox</a>, once the world’s largest Bitcoin exchange, has created a market frenzy by initiating a massive Bitcoin withdrawal. On July 23, the exchange transferred $3.2 billion worth of Bitcoin in just two hours. This move is part of the long-awaited repayment process to the exchange’s creditors, following its collapse in 2014 due to a series of hacks.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-repayment-process-nbsp">The Repayment Process&nbsp;</h2>
<p>The rehabilitation trustee of Mt. Gox began processing repayments in both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash in July 2024. The trustee’s plan involves distributing 141,686 BTC, valued at around $9.6 billion, to roughly 127,000 creditors.</p>

However, analysts believe that much of the expected selling activity might already be priced into the current market conditions.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-mt-gox-s-collapse-nbsp">Mt. Gox’s Collapse&nbsp;</h2>
<p>At its peak, Mt. Gox handled over 70% of all Bitcoin transactions worldwide. However, its downfall began with unnoticed hacks between 2011 and 2014.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The exchange’s collapse in February 2014 shook the crypto world, leading to a prolonged legal and financial struggle to reimburse its users. Despite the market’s initial jitters, some analysts remain optimistic.&nbsp;</p>

Additionally, many of Mt. Gox’s creditors are long-term Bitcoin holders, likely to retain their assets rather than sell immediately.</p>
