Just when creditors thought closure was within reach, Mt. Gox has pushed the repayment deadline again.

Summary
  • Mt. Gox has officially extended its creditor repayment deadline to Oct 31, 2026.
  • The extension was approved by a Japanese court, with the trustee citing the need to repay creditors “to the extent reasonably practicable.”
  • According to the rehabilitation trustee, repayments have been completed for many creditors who fulfilled the necessary steps.
  • This marks the third delay since the original deadline set for October 2023.

Mt. Gox, once the world’s largest Bitcoin exchange, has extended its creditor repayment deadline by another year, pushing it from Oct 31, 2025, to Oct 31, 2026. The announcement, made by the Rehabilitation Trustee on Oct 27, comes just days before the original deadline and marks the third delay in the long-standing compensation process.

The latest extension, approved by a Japanese court, is aimed at ensuring that more creditors, especially those who have not completed the necessary steps or encountered issues during the process receive their due repayments.

The statement explained that while the base, early lump-sum, and intermediate repayments have been largely completed for compliant creditors, “a considerable number” remain unpaid due to procedural lapses or technical issues.

So far, repayments have been successfully processed for about 19,500 creditors who met the conditions and encountered no complications. However, others are yet to receive their funds.

What happened to Mt. Gox?

Mt. Gox was founded in 2010 in Tokyo and grew to become the dominant exchange for Bitcoin trading. However, in 2014, the platform filed for bankruptcy after losing 850,000 BTC, worth nearly $500 million at the time, in what was later revealed to be a prolonged hacking operation. The collapse froze investor funds and sparked one of the longest and most publicized legal sagas in crypto history.

Creditors waited nearly ten years before receiving their first repayments in Dec 2023. As of Oct 2025, Mt. Gox holds roughly 34,680 BTC, valued at around $4 billion. Earlier this year, blockchain activity revealed major BTC movements from Mt. Gox wallets, fueling speculation that broader repayments were imminent which later occurred in July.

The latest deadline extension aims to give remaining creditors additional time to complete necessary procedures, and for the trustee to resolve all outstanding issues. Still, the crypto community remains watchful. Each development in the Mt. Gox case continues to cast a long shadow over Bitcoin markets, with fears of large-scale selloffs lingering in the crypto market.

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts The central bank’s policymaking panel voted this week to lower interest rates, which have sat between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to a new range of 4% and 4.25%. How Will Lower Interest Rates Impact Mortgage Rates? Mortgage rates tend to fall before and during a period of interest rate cuts: The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.35% from 6.5% last week, the lowest level since October 2024, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported. Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also dropped to 5.5% from 5.6% as they neared the year-ago rate of 5.27%. When the Federal Reserve lowered the funds rate to between 0% and 0.25% during the pandemic, 30-year mortgage rates hit record lows between 2.7% and 3% by the end of 2020, according to data published by Freddie Mac. Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Similarly, mortgage rates spiked around 7% as interest rates were hiked in 2022 and 2023, though mortgage rates appeared to react within weeks of the Fed opting to cut or raise rates. How Do Treasury Bonds Respond To Lower Interest Rates? Long-term Treasury yields are more directly influenced by interest rates, as lower rates tend to result in lower yields.

CryptoQuant: Unrealized profits of whales holding 10,000 to 100,000 ETH hit a new high in November 2021

PANews reported on September 18th that CryptoQuant analyst CryptoOnchain reported that the unrealized profits of medium-sized whales holding 10,000 to 100,000 ETH in Ethereum wallets have climbed to levels last seen in November 2021, when ETH hit its all-time high. This suggests these whales are currently holding significant paper gains, similar to the situation at the previous market peak. Historical data shows that such high levels of unrealized profits are often accompanied by increased selling pressure or profit-taking, potentially influencing price trends. While this may not necessarily trigger an immediate market correction, investor psychology and whale behavior at this stage could have a significant impact on price fluctuations.
