Mt. Gox Creditors Repayment Process

Reports indicate that Mt. Gox creditors are facing a potential wait of up to three months to receive their Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash repayments. The timeline for the repayments is contingent on the crypto exchanges with which the claims were made, as outlined in the trustee document.

Today, Mt. Gox initiated the process of making repayments to selected crypto exchanges in line with the rehabilitation plan. The trustee specified that the timeframe for the payouts to reflect in creditors' accounts may vary based on the specific exchanges involved. Here are the estimated processing durations for different exchanges:

• Kraken: 90 days
• Bitstamp: up to 60 days
• BitGo: payouts made visible within 20 days
• SBI VC Trade and Bitbank: payouts completed within 14 days

In the official communication, Mt. Gox highlighted that each designated crypto exchange is mandated to update the BTC and BCH balance in a rehabilitation creditor's account or transfer BTC/BCH to a linked wallet within a specified timeframe post the transfer from the Rehabilitation Trustee.

Criteria for Repayments to Eligible Creditors

The exchange also stipulated certain conditions that eligible creditors must meet to receive their repayments. These conditions include:

• Confirmation of registered account validity
• Acceptance of agreement subscription intention by designated exchanges
• Completion of discussions with the trustee

Last month, Mt. Gox announced its intention to distribute over $9 billion in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, alongside fiat, to creditors starting from the beginning of July. Concurrently, Bitcoin's market price experienced fluctuations, dropping below $54,000 before recovering to around $54,500 amidst the Mt. Gox repayment proceedings.
