Beleaguered crypto exchange Mt. Gox moves another massive amount of Bitcoin on Wednesday after the recent BTC and BCH transfer for repayment to creditors. This signals that the crypto exchange will likely continue moving bitcoins this week. Meanwhile, Kraken has also started distributing Bitcoin it obtained from Mt Gox Rehabilitation Trustee last week.

Coinglass data shows the total crypto liquidations were at $160 million in the last 24 hours. While creditors in a Reddit poll said they are unlikely to sell their BTC, liquidation risks are mounting among traders. QCP Capital reported that options traders were targeting lower prices due to spot Ethereum ETF launch. 
In the last 24 hours, the largest single liquidation order happened on crypto exchange OKX as someone did ETH-USDT-SWAP valued at&nbsp; $8.58 million. 
Bitcoin trades under pressure amid repayments by Mt Gox Rehabilitation Trustee. <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BTC price</a> fell more than 1% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading near $65,750. The 24-hour low and high are $65,484 and $67,359, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has decreased by 20% in the last 24 hours, indicating a decline in interest among traders.
