Mt. Gox, the defunct cryptocurrency exchange hacked in 2014, has delayed its repayment plan for affected creditors from October 2024 to October 2025.
The delay offers relief to Bitcoin and the crypto market, as the repayment of 200,000 BTC could have put downward pressure on Bitcoin's price.
Many creditors are yet to receive their funds due to incomplete procedures or issues encountered during the repayment process.
Bitcoin has fallen below the critical $60,000 mark and faces a sell-off, with losses exceeding 2% in the last 24 hours and nearly 9% over the past two weeks.
