Creditors with claims that exceed the threshold of $ 50,000 are established to start receiving their payments in the second quarter, with around $ 16 billion that will be distributed in total.
The funds are distributed in US dollars through Bitgo and Kraken. According to Shared screenshots in Reddit, Kraken also distributed commercial fees to users. The measure is seen as a way for Kraken to distribute payments without benefiting from them.
