Mt. Gox added that over 17,000 rehabilitation creditors have received repayments to date. However, despite the large number, several other creditors have taken to the Reddit group ‘mtgoxinsolvency’ with complaints of not receiving their payments. Additional details in the exchangeโs statement have provided a response to these concerns.
Criteria for Future Repayments to Other Creditors
Addressing the clients awaiting their payments, Mt. Gox stated that transfers will be made promptly. However, in order to receive the payments, creditors must meet the following conditions:
- Account Validation: Creditors must ensure the validity of their registered accounts and other relevant information.
- Agency Receipt Agreement: Upon ensuring validity, eligible creditors must confirm their intention to subscribe to the Agency Receipt Agreement with the cryptocurrency exchanges in charge of payouts.
- Exercise Patience for Ongoing Discussions: Creditors must await the completion of discussions regarding repayment processes between the Rehabilitation Trustee and the designated cryptocurrency exchanges.
- Safety and Security Measures: When distributions are due, creditors must ensure that all repayments can be made safely and securely.
Mt.Gox added that awaiting creditors are advised to โwait for a while,โ suggesting that the process may require additional time.
On the Flipside
- Despite the FUD for the Mt. Gox Bitcoin payouts exerting major selling pressure on BTCโs price, a recent report shows that more creditors are holding assets than selling them.
- At press time, BTC is trading at $65,531.
Why This Matters
Mt. Goxโs successful distribution of settlements marks a positive end to the decades-long wait for creditors. Additionally, the confirmation that the exchange will promptly make payments to other awaiting creditors offers hope that this chapter may soon close completely.
