Defunct exchange Mt. Gox is back in the spotlight with fresh Bitcoin movements.
The renewed activity comes after a period of silence.
Recent developments have put a hold on settlements.
Mt. Gox, once the largest cryptocurrency exchange before a devastating hack led to its collapse, has recently returned to the spotlight, reimbursing thousands of users impacted by its downfall. With the exchange’s comeback came frequent large-scale Bitcoin transfers, distributed among entities and eventually directed toward repayments.
However, the exchange recently paused the process, but new portfolio stir-ups have renewed chatter.
