Bitstamp has announced that it will start distributing assets from the defunct Mt. Gox exchange to its creditors tomorrow. The exchange received these assets and is now processing them for distribution. 
They’ve <a href="https://x.com/Bitstamp/status/1816133303549800768" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">asked</a> customers to be patient and wait up to a week for security checks. UK residents will have a separate distribution plan, and everyone involved will be updated once the transfers are complete. 
Just yesterday, Kraken confirmed they also received their share of the assets. They didn’t reveal the exact amounts given out, and that has left many creditors wondering about the total value they’ll actually receive. 
Mt. Gox was once a Bitcoin giant, handling over 70% of all transactions. But in 2014, the exchange collapsed after a massive hack that led to the loss of about 740,000 bitcoins. Today, that amount would be worth around $15 billion.

After a lot of delays and court battles, the repayment process is finally moving. The Tokyo District Court set an October 2024 deadline to complete the repayment plan.&nbsp; 
Nobuaki Kobayashi, the Rehabilitation Trustee, has been working on this plan for a long time. The plan includes distributing Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Ethereum (ETH) to those who lost their investments. 
The beginning of these repayments has already started to shake up the crypto markets as it happens right alongside a big bullish catalyst like spot Ethereum ETFs.&nbsp; 
Many early investors are getting their assets back at much higher values than when they first invested. This might lead to some of them selling off their holdings, which could add selling pressure in the market.&nbsp; 
Everyone’s watching to see how these distributions will impact the prices of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum.
