<h2 id="mt-gox-fud-no-longer-an-issue">Mt. Gox FUD, No Longer an Issue</h2>
The fact that Bitcoin’s price continues to remain above the $66,000 level, suggests that traders may have finally grown tired of the Mt. Gox Bitcoin-related FUD, considering that the market barely reacted to the funds’ move.
There are no signs of increased sell pressure, which suggests that creditors are likely holding on to their coins.
Collective Shift founder Ben Simpson said that if we think about the users who were owed Bitcoin from the direct Mt. Gox exchange were OG Bitcoiners, these were people who bought BTC ten years ago, who believed in the industry and the digital asset. He added that they are here to HODL.
Simpson also explained that the market has already priced in the fact that some credits would get their assets back and most likely won’t sell.
He also mentioned recent events such as the German Government selling all their BTC, as they don’t need BTC, but cash.
The Mt. Gox moves became so usual that the market does not budge anymore. So far, over 41.5% or 59,000 BTC of the total of 141,686 BTC has been redistributed to <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/mt-gox-creditor-repayments-at-40-following-todays-2-5b-in-bitcoin-transfer/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">creditors of Mt. Gox</a> since July 5.
Also, the Glassnode crypto analysis firm, believes that only a small portion of these credits are likely to sell their coins
The firm said that creditors opted to receive BTC rather than fiat, which was something new in the Japanese bankruptcy lay. This reportedly means that only a subset of the distributed tokens will be truly sold onto the market.
At the moment of writing this article, <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> is still trading above $66,000.

Also, Santiment market intelligence platform<a href="https://x.com/santimentfeed/status/1818551023042285995" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"> noted</a> that as Bitcoin ranges just north of $66,000, traders should take note of the rising level of unique tokens being transferred between wallets.
According to the platform, 244,000 BTC circulating in a single day was the most since March 5.
