- Nearly 47,229 BTC were transmitted to a different location late on Thursday by the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange Mt Gox.
- Yesterday, Mt Gox distributed tiny sums of bitcoin to several cold wallets.
Over 47,000 BTC -6.29% were transferred from the collapsed bitcoin exchange Mt Gox to a different wallet late on Thursday night, according to Arkham Intelligence. This occurs before its upcoming $9 billion bitcoin debt repayment to creditors.
A wallet address that ends in 6onk received approximately 47,228.7 BTC, or over $2.71 billion, from one of Mt. Gox’s three wallets that contained substantial amounts of money. Two minor transactions involving several Mt Gox wallets occurred early on Thursday morning. The highest transaction cost $24 in bitcoin.
The now-defunct bitcoin exchange declared in late June that it will start paying its creditors more than $9 billion in bitcoin, bitcoin cash, and fiat money in early July.
Rachael Lucas, a crypto analyst at BTC Markets said that the market will likely absorb the additional supply, which will result in considerable selling pressure following the US$9 billion settlement.
The value of bitcoin has changed since Mt Gox declared that it will begin paying back creditors in July.
Established in 2010. Prior to the site experiencing a security breach in 2014 that resulted in the loss of at least 850,000 bitcoin, Mt Gox was the biggest bitcoin exchange in the world.
