TOKYO – Mt. Gox, the cryptocurrency exchange that ceased operations after a significant security breach in 2014, is now verifying (BTC) and (BCH) addresses with its creditors as a part of its repayment strategy. The exchange, which lost 850,000 BTC in the breach, initiated the repayment process last December, aiming to redistribute assets, including cryptocurrencies and yen, collectively valued at over $510 million.

Creditors involved with Mt. Gox are currently being enrolled in an agency receipt service to facilitate the acceptance of payments. The trustee overseeing the repayments is reaching out via email confirmations to verify the addresses. Payments have already been processed for some accounts, although those with frozen or disabled statuses will not be eligible for reimbursement.

The market is closely watching the situation, as the distribution plan includes approximately 142,000 BTC and 143,000 BCH, in addition to a cash component equivalent to $510 million in yen. This substantial payout is expected to have an impact on the market, as stakeholders speculate on the potential effects of this large-scale distribution.
