Mt. Gox, the bankrupt cryptocurrency trading platform, has transferred approximately $2.2 billion worth of Bitcoin to unmarked wallet addresses, including a transfer of 32,371 BTC to two unknown wallets and an internal movement of 2,000 BTC. This substantial transaction has raised questions about its purpose and timing, drawing attention from market observers as the exchange continues its efforts to repay creditors.
The transfer comes as Mt. Gox announces a one-year extension, until 2025, for creditor repayments, relieving concerns about potential market impact. This delay, approved by a Japanese court, allows the Mt. Gox Rehabilitation Trustee additional time to organize repayments to creditors who lost funds during the platform’s collapse in 2014.
The news of the crypto exchange’s recent Bitcoin transfer has generated mixed reactions among market participants. Some investors remain cautious, fearing that the distribution of funds to creditors could prompt a wave of selling pressure if creditors choose to liquidate their holdings. Concerns about a possible market impact have been especially prevalent as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies experienced volatility in recent weeks, influenced by regulatory changes and geopolitical events. Bitcoin’s price dropped by about 7% last week, reportedly due to investor uncertainty about potential regulatory changes, in addition to anticipation of a downturn if candidate Kamala Harris wins the U.S. presidential election due to her undefined stance on cryptocurrency.
