マウントゴックスの返済手続きが始まり、債権者への90億ドルの分配を目指す

消滅した仮想通貨取引所マウントゴックスの債権者に対する待望の返済プロセスが開始され、ビットコインとビットコインキャッシュでの返済が予定されている。

The long-awaited repayment process for the creditors of the defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox has finally begun, with repayments in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash scheduled to be made.

The development comes after the rehabilitation plan was approved by a majority of Mt. Gox’s creditors in November 2021. The trustee, Nobuaki Kobayashi, had announced that eligible claimants would start receiving compensation after enduring multiple delays since the exchange's collapse in 2014.

The balance to be repaid stands at a significant $9 billion, which includes the Bitcoin ( BTC ) $56,848 and Bitcoin Cash ( BCH ) $336 , as well as additional funds held by the trustee.
