MtGox Co., Ltd. has announced the commencement of repayments in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash as outlined in their Rehabilitation Plan. These repayments are scheduled to start in early July 2024, following thorough preparations including ensuring safe and reliable repayment processes, adherence to financial regulations across different countries, and finalizing arrangements with various cryptocurrency exchanges.
How Will the Repayments Be Processed by MtGox?
The repayments will be issued to cryptocurrency exchanges that have completed the necessary exchange and confirmation of information with the Rehabilitation Trustee. This process will be executed in phases, starting with the exchanges that first meet these requirements. Creditors are advised to await further notifications as the repayments are executed in sequence.
What Does the Distribution Look Like for MtGox?
According to estimates, approximately 100K Bitcoin is set to be distributed, with 65K going to individual holders and at least 6500 BTC expected to be liquidated. There is speculation that this figure might double to 13K BTC, which is about the same amount recently acquired by major investors, valued at around 780 million USD.
What Can We Expect from the Market Impact of MtGox Distribution?
The impending distribution has prompted various market reactions, leading to a significant drop in market cap over the last week. Despite this, analyses suggest that the market may have overreacted, presenting a significant buying opportunity. Perhaps this situation reflects not just the anticipation of the repayments but also an underlying liquidity crisis affecting the broader market, which suggests that Bitcoin’s recent price drop may align more with broader economic conditions.
The upcoming Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash repayments by MtGox, scheduled to begin in early July 2024, present a strategic opportunity for traders on Bybit and MEXC to consider both short and long positions. Traders expecting a price drop due to the large influx of Bitcoin might find shorting advantageous, while others seeing this as buying opportunity could look at long positions as the market assimilates the new supply.
