Bitstamp Announces Availability of Assets for Mt. Gox Creditors

Mt. Gox customers will receive some payment from their Bitcoin behemoth through Bitstamp today, nearly a decade after the exchange was hacked.

According to a post on Bitstamp’s website, funds in Bitcoin, ether, and Bitcoin cash were received from Mt. Gox trustees on Wednesday. UK customers will not be included in phase one of the distribution.

The move comes amid numerous reports from Mt. Gox creditors claiming to have received assets through Kraken. The Mt. Gox trust began disbursing funds to multiple crypto exchanges this month, and users will be able to reclaim these funds in the coming weeks. At one time, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, Mt. Gox, processed over 70% of all Bitcoin transactions in its initial years.
