Creditors of the defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox are getting closer to receiving reimbursements under a plan that became final and binding, bringing one of the longest-running sagas in the cryptocurrency world nearer to an end.

The timing and specific amount of the repayments haven’t been announced, according to a letter Tuesday from a Japanese trustee, who is in charge of returning the funds to creditors. Investors will have to provide their bank accounts and other information to receive repayments.
