Bitstamp has initiated the process of repaying creditors of the defunct Mt. Gox exchange. This move comes just days after the Mt. Gox Trustee carried out initial test transactions on the Bitstamp platform. The commencement of repayments represents a crucial development in the resolution of the Mt. Gox bankruptcy, which has been ongoing for years. Creditor repayments had been eagerly anticipated as funds remained locked following the infamous collapse of the exchange.
