Coin Telegraph

The trustee overseeing Mt. Gox assets has extended the deadline for creditors’ restitution to October 2025 as over 44,900 BTC remains unpaid.

Defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox has postponed the deadline to repay its creditors by a year, pushing the due date to return funds to Oct. 31, 2025.

According to an official announcement, “many rehabilitation creditors still have not received” their repayments after not completing the required procedures.

It faced a series of security breaches and unnoticed hacks that led to a halt in withdrawals and its eventual collapse in 2014, locking the funds of about 127,000 users.
