The defunct Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox has transferred 45,511 Bitcoins to 3 new wallets, valued at an impressive $3.15 billion. This significant movement of funds, tracked by Spot on Chain, suggests preparations for distributing payments to its creditors.
Since July 5, Mt. Gox has shifted a total of 61,559 BTC, worth $3.88 billion, to major exchanges like Kraken, Bitstamp, and SBIVC. These transfers are likely aimed at settling outstanding claims from creditors. However, reports indicate that <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/07/31/kraken-faces-criticism-over-mt-gox-bitcoin-payout-delays/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kraken has faced issues</a> with some Bitcoin payouts, despite having verified the identities of the creditors.

Recent transactions have caused Bitcoin’s price to fluctuate, with the cryptocurrency dropping to $66,000 and showing minimal volatility, down 0.5% at press time. Bitcoin struggled to maintain its bullish run to $70,000, leading to a pullback.
Investors are now focusing on the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting scheduled for July 31. The meeting will provide insights into the Fed’s stance on inflation and economic growth, potentially influencing Bitcoin’s price. The current market sentiment suggests a slow decline in inflation and growth, with a low likelihood of recession.
BloFin data shows a negative gamma in the $65,000 to $70,000 range, affecting Bitcoin options expiring on August 2, which may increase volatility as the expiry date nears. Bitcoin whales continue to accumulate BTC despite the recent price drop. This accumulation indicates strong interest in the cryptocurrency amid current market conditions.
As investors await the FOMC’s decision, Bitcoin’s price stability and the impact of Mt. Gox’s payouts will remain key factors in determining future market movements.
