Mt. Gox delays reimbursements: a respite for the market, a trial for creditors

Mt. Gox, victim of one of the largest hacks in crypto history, announces the postponement of its creditors’ reimbursement to October 31, 2025, a year of additional delay. This decision aims to overcome the technical difficulties that have slowed down the process, although 21,000 creditors have already been partially reimbursed in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. Mt. Gox’s wallet still holds 45,000 BTC (or 2.75 billion USD at the current rate), and this extension temporarily reduces the risk of a massive sell-off in the crypto market.

This respite is welcomed positively by some investors, who hope for a stabilization of Bitcoin’s price. However, the prolonged wait fuels creditors’ frustration, exacerbates distrust towards centralized platforms, and strengthens the appeal of decentralized solutions.

Stripe relaunches in crypto with Solana to revolutionize e-commerce

Stripe, an online payment giant, marks its return to the crypto sector after a six-year break by integrating stablecoin payments via Solana. The company had stopped its support of Bitcoin in 2018 due to slow transactions and volatility. Now, Stripe is betting on USDC, a stablecoin issued by Circle, which offers crucial stability for commercial transactions. US merchants can directly receive dollars, and Stripe handles the conversion.

Solana stands out with its near-zero fees and high processing speed, surpassing Ethereum and Polygon, making it an ideal choice for Stripe. This collaboration reflects a step towards broader cryptocurrency adoption in e-commerce, combining Stripe’s expertise with Solana’s performance to create a fast and reliable payment infrastructure.
