Mt. Gox, the collapsed crypto exchange, has begun repaying its debts in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.
Repayments are being made to some rehabilitation creditors via designated crypto exchanges per its rehabilitation plan.

The repayments to the remaining rehabilitation creditors will be “promptly made” after multiple conditions have been met.
These conditions include confirming account validity and creditors’ acceptance of the intent to subscribe to the Agency Receipt Agreement by designated crypto exchanges.&nbsp;
In addition to assuring repayments are made safely and securely, discussions regarding repayment procedures between the Rehabilitation Trustee and the exchanges must also be completed.

Mt. Gox was founded in 2010 by Jed McCaleb and was one of the largest BTC exchanges, handling 70% of global BTC transactions at its peak.&nbsp;McCaleb sold it to Mark Karpelès in 2011.
In early 2014, the exchange suspended all BTC withdrawals, citing technical issues, but later revealed approximately 850,000 BTC was lost due to a long-standing security breach.
After filing for bankruptcy in February 2014 with liabilities far outweighing its assets, the case shifted to civil rehabilitation in 2018, and Karpelès was convicted of falsifying financial records in 2019.
