<p>Mt. Gox’s movements have not left the crypto market unscathed, even influencing investor morale. The recent transfer of 3 billion dollars in Bitcoin by Mt. Gox surprised many but did not have the expected effect on Bitcoin’s price. With a market that now seems immune to Mt. Gox’s antics, it is pertinent to understand why and how this affects investor sentiment and future market trends.</p>
<h2 id="h-bitcoin-et-mt-gox-un-impact-tempere-sur-le-marche">Bitcoin and Mt. Gox: A Tempered Impact on the Market</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-mt-gox-finally-repays-its-creditors-after-ten-years-of-waiting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">time for repayments</a> has come for Mt. Gox. On July 30, the Japanese firm moved <strong>approximately 47,229 BTC to three unknown wallets</strong>, notes <a href="https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1818469315383030050" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lookonchain</a>. Although this transaction <strong>briefly dropped Bitcoin’s price</strong> below $66,000, the market quickly recovered. According to experts, this move was anticipated by investors.</p>

<p>“<em>Mt. Gox holders are here to HODL</em>,” explains Ben Simpson, founder of Collective Shift.</p>
<p>This <strong>“hodling” strategy – holding assets for the long term</strong> – seems to have reduced selling pressure in the market. Glassnode analysts confirm that <strong>only a few Mt. Gox creditors plan to sell their bitcoins</strong>.</p>
<ul>
 <li>More than 41.5% of the 141,686 BTC redistributed to Mt. Gox creditors since July 5.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <strong>lack of panic among investors</strong> indicates a <strong>growing market maturity</strong>.</p>

<p>Mt. Gox creditors, having chosen to receive BTC rather than fiat currencies, show <strong>their confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value</strong>. Thus, despite massive transactions, the impact on the price remains limited.</p>
<h2 id="h-volatilite-du-bitcoin-entre-mt-gox-et-la-fed">Bitcoin Volatility: Between Mt. Gox and the Fed</h2>
<p>While the market was digesting Mt. Gox’s movements, <strong>another threat</strong> loomed: the <strong><a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/federal-reserve-fed-rate-cut-big-impact-on-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">imminent decision</a> by the US Federal Reserve on interest rates</strong>.</p>
<p>This double threat could have created <strong>a whirlwind of volatility</strong>, but the Bitcoin market remained relatively stable.</p>

<p>The FOMC meeting, with a possible rate cut in September, added a dose of uncertainty. Nonetheless, the queen of cryptos showed <strong>notable resilience</strong>.</p>
<p>Analysts believe this relative stability is due to <strong>increased confidence in Bitcoin’s fundamentals</strong> and an expectation of more accommodative monetary policies.</p>
