<p>The defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox moved 47,228 Bitcoin worth about $2.7 billion from cold storage to a new wallet address as fears over a mass selloff helped trigger a crypto crash.</p>
<p>Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) on social media is at ”historic highs,” Santiment <a href="https://x.com/santimentfeed/status/1809070048805597612" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a>, as Bitcoin plunged to a four-month low. The global cryptocurrency market capitalization plummeted 9% to dip under $2 trillion.</p>

<p>The Mt. Gox rehabilitation trustee plans to distribute $9 billion of Bitcoin to creditors by October.&nbsp;On-chain data shows that the first batch of repayments is already underway after a transfer of 2,702 BTC, worth over $148 million, to the Bitbank exchange.</p>

<p>Some Mt. Gox creditors on Reddit have also <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/mtgoxinsolvency/comments/1dvrsuf/my_exchange_has_been_credited_japan_based_creditor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">confirmed</a> that their exchange accounts have received funds.&nbsp;The fears of a massive selloff have not only affected Bitcoin but also altcoins.</p>
<p>Ethereum slumped 9% to around $2,800, while BNB and Solana fell 11% and 6%, respectively. Dogecoin is among the worst-hit major tokens, with the price nosediving more than 14%.</p>
<p>The crypto crash saw over $600 million liquidated from the market in the past 24 hours, according to <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinglass</a>. That’s the highest since the FTX collapse in November 2022.</p>
