More than ten years after its collapse, Mt.Gox is once again in the spotlight.

The former cryptocurrency exchange, once at the centre of one of the most serious financial scandals in the crypto sector, is finally moving towards returning funds to the defrauded investors.
Those who have not yet done so will have time to submit their claim to the bankruptcy trustee until 31 October 2026.

Only in this way will they be considered for the distribution of the seized assets.

This is an important development, rekindling hope of compensation for thousands of investors worldwide.
