<p>Bitcoin (BTC) is on a rollercoaster ride, and the culprit behind the chaos? Look no further than the long-dormant Mt. Gox exchange. After years of silence, Mt. Gox is back in the spotlight, and traders are feeling the heat. </p> 
<p>Why? Because they’re bracing for a massive $9 billion Bitcoin dump into the market. Is this a golden opportunity for alternative cryptocurrencies or a recipe for disaster?</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-mt-gox-factor"><strong><strong>The Mt. Gox Factor</strong></strong></h2> 
<p>Recent reports from QCP, shared through Telegram, show Bitcoin holding steady at $67,100 for the fourth time in two weeks, signaling a period of stability. But whispers of potential sell-offs are growing louder, fueled by fears of Mt. Gox releasing its Bitcoin stash in October. While BTC faces uncertainty, Ethereum (ETH) supporters see this as a chance for ETH to shine.</p>

   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">QCP: Uncertainty about potential Mt Gox BTC supply hitting the market by October could hinder BTC, potentially benefiting ETH upon the launch of the ETH Spot ETF. The desk observes bullishness in ETH, with sizeable buyers of 4k/5k ETH Call Spreads for end June 2024.…</p>— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) <a href="https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/1796117287612854639?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 30, 2024</a>

<p>The market is uneasy as Nobuaki Kobayashi, the trustee overseeing Mt. Gox’s assets, extends the creditor repayment deadline to October 31, 2024. With around 200,000 BTC still missing since the 2014 breach, many creditors are still waiting to be compensated, adding complexity to the situation.</p> 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ethereum-s-glorious-rise"><strong>Ethereum’s Glorious Rise </strong></h3> 
<p>On a brighter note, Ethereum (ETH) is gearing up for the launch of its spot ETFs. This news has sparked bullish sentiment around ETH, with a surge in buying activity, particularly in bullish options with strike prices ranging from $4,000 to $5,000, expiring by the end of June.</p> 
<p>But it’s not just ETH making waves. Meme-coins like Shiba Inu (SHIBA), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Pepe (PEPE) are also gaining traction among traders. These tokens are currently among the top 10 by open positions, indicating strong investor interest in meme-driven assets.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-etf-hopes"><strong>ETF Hopes</strong></h2> 
<p>In a significant move, investment giant BlackRock’s revised S-1 form suggests progress in the ETF domain. This has raised hopes for broader ETF approval, with other issuers likely to follow suit. If all goes well, regulatory approval for ETFs could come as early as July, injecting fresh confidence into the market.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-altcoin-bleeding-continues"><strong>Altcoin Bleeding Continues</strong></h2> 
<p>Bitcoin and Ethereum prices are experiencing volatility alongside a downturn in the broader altcoin market. Over the past 24 hours, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization has dropped by 1.43% to $2.52 trillion, with a 10.16% decrease in trading volume to $81.72 billion. </p> 
<p><a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin</a> is currently valued at $67,663, showing a marginal 0.01% decline, with its price fluctuating between $67,169 and $68,306. Similarly, Ethereum is trading at $3,727, indicating a 2.20% decrease, with its price fluctuating between $3,703 and $3,829.&nbsp;</p>
