Ahead of the payout of 137,000 Bitcoins (BTC) to customers of the hacked Mt. Gox trading platform the crypto market has been rife with speculation regarding the impact of the compensation. Notably, with Bitcoin struggling, there is fear that Mt. Gox customers might dump their newly reclaimed BTC resulting in further market volatility. However, this is not the case since, during the registration request, creditors were given the option of getting their Bitcoin early, in partial lump sum payment or wait until the end of civil rehabilitation once more funds are available for disbursement. The payment is set to begin late August as per the documentation by court appointed trustee Nobauaki Kobayashi. According to crypto analyst Danny Devan, the process might take several months and does not pose an immediate threat to swaying Bitcoin’s price.
