Mt. Gox Moves $900M in Bitcoin, Sparking Concerns as Crypto Market Declines

The post Mt. Gox Moves $900M in Bitcoin, Sparking Concerns as Crypto Market Declines appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The crypto market continued its decline this week, with its market cap dropping to $2.44 trillion on Tuesday, the lowest since early November. This price drop triggered over $937 million in liquidations within 24 hours. Meanwhile, concerns grew as the defunct Mt. Gox exchange moved 11,833 BTC, worth $932 million. Mt Gox Moves Significant Bitcoins Mt. Gox has recently moved a significant amount of Bitcoin, totaling 11,834 BTC (worth approximately $910 million). This transfer includes 11,502 BTC (around $885 million) to a new wallet and 332 BTC (worth $25.5 million) to a “warm” wallet, which is typically used for transactions or active management of funds. Monday’s $900 million Bitcoin transfer came from the Mt. Gox wallet “1Mo1n,” which had received $1.07 billion in Bitcoin from another exchange last week. However, when the funds were moved last week, Arkham Intelligence didn’t recognize the “1Mo1n” address as a Mt. Gox wallet. The movement of Mt. Gox’s Bitcoin is closely watched because it is part of the ongoing process of repaying creditors who lost funds in the exchange’s infamous hack and bankruptcy. Just five days ago, Mt. Gox sent 166.5 BTC to BitGo, a digital asset custodian, likely as part of a creditor repayment process. The recent 332 BTC transfer is also expected to be moved soon, possibly as part of further repayments. Broader Market Implications The movement of Mt. Gox’s Bitcoin is significant for the broader crypto market because it could potentially flood the market with large amounts of Bitcoin if creditors decide to sell. This has raised concerns about potential market volatility. The creditors of Mt. Gox have been waiting years to receive their funds, and the repaid Bitcoin may be sold or held, depending on their decisions. While some creditors were paid through Kraken and Bitstamp, the repayment deadline was extended to October 31, 2025. The bankrupt exchange still holds $2.8 billion worth of Bitcoin in its wallets.
