Arkham Intelligence said Mt. Gox transferred 37,477 bitcoins (equivalent to $2.47b) from a cold wallet to an undisclosed address on Wednesday.
Furthermore, the defunct crypto exchange internally transferred 5,106 BTC (equivalent to $226 million) from one frozen wallet to another within Mt. Gox. These transfers are probably associated with its repayment plan for creditors.
It follows Kraken’s decision to distribute assets to the creditors of Mt. Gox on Tuesday, which could exert sell pressure on the market.
On Tuesday, Mt.Gox transmitted 42,587 Bitcoin, estimated to be worth $2.85 billion.
Kraken disclosed last week that it had received $3 billion in funds from the Mt. Gox Trustee, a significant development for the creditors. The exchange intended to commence the distribution of the funds within seven to fourteen days.
The day was “glorious” for Mt. Gox creditors as they began receiving funds, according to Kraken co-founder Jesse Powell in an X post on Wednesday. “What a protracted journey. “I am pleased to conclude this chapter of the crypto industry,” he stated.
The anticipated $9 billion cryptocurrency payout from Mt. Gox has sparked concerns regarding the potential for a Bitcoin sell-off.
In May, Mt. Gox removed a substantial quantity of cryptocurrency from storage for the first time in five years. This payout is the result. It also prompted investors to express apprehension that a panic sale by creditors could depress the market.
The crypto market has been substantially affected by the trustee’s commencement of the payment process.
