Mt. Gox, the defunct cryptocurrency exchange, is preparing to transfer the remaining 80.5K BTC to creditors. This follows the recent distribution of nearly 50K Bitcoins to creditors on Kraken and Bitstamp. The move comes as Bitcoin faces significant resistance at the $70,000 level.
Data from Arkham Intelligence shows a Mt. Gox address (12 Rgp) recently transferred 0.02 BTC worth $1,350 to another address. The same address also transferred 0.0001 BTC to another address. These small transfers indicate Mt. Gox is conducting test transactions before moving the remaining 80,128 BTC, valued at $5.35 billion.
Resolution of Withdrawal Issues
Creditors experienced some <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/mt-gox-creditors-face-challenges-with-bitstamp-withdrawals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">withdrawal issues</a> on the exchanges last week. However, most of these problems have been resolved. After nearly a decade of waiting since the exchange went defunct, Mt. Gox aims to complete the process with this final distribution. This step could mark the end of a long-standing issue in the crypto industry, offering psychological relief.
Mt. Gox has already completed the first tranche of <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/mt-gox-creditors-finally-receive-bitcoin-payouts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin transfers</a> to creditors on Kraken and Bitstamp. The creditors’ willingness to hold their BTC despite market volatility demonstrates confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value. The market will closely watch how the remaining transfers impact Bitcoin’s price.

 Now Mt.Gox has joined in after the US government, according to Arkham. While the 80.5K bitcoins haven't moved yet, they sent a test transaction like they did before previous transfers, which could indicate the upcoming movement of the remaining amount of 80.5K btc.

Bitcoin Market Reaction
On Monday, Bitcoin faced renewed selling pressure after rejection at the $70,000 level. As of press time, Bitcoin is down over 4%, slipping below $66,500. Popular market analysts like PlanB have predicted the Bitcoin price rally could extend to $150,000 by the end of the year. Despite the temporary setback, long-term predictions remain optimistic.
The US government’s recent movement of 29,800 BTC from the Silk Road seizure has also contributed to selling pressure. This comes shortly after President Donald suggested making Bitcoin a strategic US reserve. The upcoming US Federal Reserve meeting, where Chairman Jerome...
