<p class="is-style-lead">Bankrupt crypto exchange Mt. Gox has once again postponed the repayment deadline for its creditors. Now, some victims of its collapse will not be able to receive funds until next year.</p> 
<p><a href="https://www.mtgox.com/img/pdf/20241010_1b5ee10e-cf5b-420e-9e41-43ccd9e515e5_announcement_en.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The new report</a> shows that most creditors have already received primary and early payments, but some still need to complete the necessary procedures or encountered various problems. Therefore, the repayment deadline has been postponed from Oct. 31, 2024, to Oct. 31, 2025.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> 
 <p>“As it is desirable to make the Repayments to such rehabilitation creditors to the extent reasonably practicable, the Rehabilitation Trustee, with the permission of the court, has changed the deadline for the Repayments from October 31, 2024 (Japan Standard Time) to October 31, 2025 (Japan Standard Time).”</p>

<p>Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank">BTC</a>) is trading around $61,000, with the bare increase of less than 1% in the last 24 hours — the news from Mt. Gox has not caused much of a reaction in the market.</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/mt-gox" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Arkham</a>, Mt. Gox’s crypto wallet currently holds 44,905 Bitcoin, equivalent to more than $2.7 billion.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the exchange has moved its Bitcoin holdings in the past; for example, on May 28, it transferred the cryptocurrency worth $8.7 billion in preparation for the first payments to creditors. By the end of July, Mt. Gox <a href="https://crypto.news/mt-gox-moves-additional-2-47b-in-btc-to-new-wallet-bitstamp/" target="_blank">had moved</a> another 37,477 BTC, worth $2.5 billion, and reported that 60% of payments to creditors had been completed.</p>

<p>Many crypto community members have long been concerned that the exchange’s payments could sink BTC and cause a wave of massive sell-offs in the crypto market. </p> 
<p>However, news about the postponement of Mt. Gox payments is not uncommon. Crypto exchange creditors regularly postpone deadlines, and the latest news about the postponement of deadlines did not cause a strong reaction in the community.</p>

<p>Eljaboom, founder and CEO of Ajoobz, believes that the news about <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/mt-gox/" target="_blank">Mt. Gox</a> has become another driver for the growth of the crypto market. In his opinion, a combination of factors, including support for U.S. presidential candidate <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a> and global rate cuts, drive growth and a bullish trend.</p>

<p>The crypto market is experiencing many fluctuations and changes, and one of the most iconic pages in its history is the case of the Mt. Gox exchange. Launched in 2010, this platform at one point became the largest in the world in terms of bitcoin trading volume. </p> 
<p>However, in 2014, it went bankrupt, losing 850,000 customer BTC, which amounted to more than $450 million. Since then, various attempts to return funds to investors have continued, and the latest news about payment delays has again attracted the attention of both investors and experts.</p> 
<p>Mt. Gox’s bankruptcy raised many complex legal issues. Creditors and investors became involved in lengthy litigation that dragged on for years. Complex procedures for determining rights to cryptocurrency assets only sometimes comply with traditional legislation, which creates additional difficulties.</p>

<p>Asset recovery and distribution are associated with the need to account for and identify owners, which takes time and the right approach. Crypto assets can be scattered across different addresses and wallets, complicating the return of funds. Moreover, a severe technical base is required to ensure the security and transparency of transactions on the exchange, and developers must also create and test it. However, some investors may find relief in delays in payments.</p>
