After a decade of waiting, Mt. Gox customers will find their crypto assets worth much more than when the exchange collapsed.
Bitstamp will begin distributing crypto to Mt. Gox creditors on July 25 after receiving a large transfer of assets from the trustees of the collapsed exchange a day earlier.
The Mt. Gox trustees transferred 5,106 Bitcoin (BTC) directly to Bitstamp and 2,869 BTC to an unknown address, after which they underwent additional transfers before ending up in wallets associated with Bitstamp. Bitstamp also received Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Ethereum (ETH) from the trustees.
It will take a week for recipients of the repayments to undergo security checks, after which they will have full control of their coins, the exchange said in a statement. UK-based Bitstamp customers in the United Kingdom will not be included in the first round of repayments. They can expect to receive their repayments “within the next few months.”
