Bitcoin Cash

The cryptocurrency market saw a notable drop on July 24, 2024, as Kraken began distributing assets to creditors of the now-defunct <a href="https://news.todayq.com/mt-gox-moves-2-84-billion-of-bitcoin-major-sell-off-coming/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mt. Gox exchange</a>. Recently, an on-chain analytic firm spotonchain made several posts on X stating where they have highlighted that Gt. Gox just moved a massive 34,608 Bitcoin (BTC). However, this action has led to concerns about increased selling pressure in the market.&nbsp; Mt. Gox transfers 34,608 BTC 
According to a post on X, during the Asian trading hour, Mt. Gox transferred a notable 32,371 BTC worth $2.13 billion to a new wallet and later they just moved a massive 2,237 BTC worth $147 million to a cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp.&nbsp;

This notable BTC transfer has gained massive attention from investors and traders as a result the overall market is down by 0.56%. Whereas, top cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and many others experienced a price drop.
According to coinmarketcap, BTC fell to $65,500, marking a nearly 4% decrease over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) experienced a more significant drop, losing over 7% in the same period. Whereas, the Index that tracks the performance of major cryptocurrencies, declined by 3%. Leading altcoins like Solana (SOL), Ripple’s XRP (XRP), and Cardano (ADA) also saw declines between 4% and 5%. Ether remains steady&nbsp; 
On the other hand, Ether (ETH) managed to outperform most other cryptocurrencies, remaining relatively stable at just below $3,500. This stability was supported by strong trading volumes for U.S.-listed spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on their first day of trading.
The price action comes as multiple creditors of Mt. Gox reported receiving their cryptocurrencies after a decade of waiting. Mt. Gox, once a major crypto exchange, collapsed in 2014 following a significant hack. This month, the Mt. Gox estate started transferring assets to several crypto exchanges, allowing users to reclaim their funds over the coming weeks. Mt. Gox tokens distribution&nbsp; 
The distribution of nearly $9 billion worth of BTC and BCH has raised concerns among digital asset investors. Many are worried about how much of these assets creditors might sell in the open market, given the significant price increase over the past ten years.
Crypto prices have often reacted negatively to news related to Mt. Gox asset movements. Earlier today, Bitcoin fell to around $66,000 after Mt. Gox wallets moved $2.8 billion worth of assets, including $130 million in BTC, to the exchange Bitstamp, indicating the start of asset distribution to creditors.
Investors are closely watching the market to see how this distribution will impact cryptocurrency prices in the coming weeks.
