Bitcoin has been on a downward spiral for the better part of July 2024. The German government’s dumping of 50,000 BTC and Mt. Gox’s release of $9 billion have caused uncertainty in markets. Bears and crypto newbies made plans to leave the market, hence the heavy selling pressure quickly.

However, after 16 years of Bitcoin existence, whales and BTC enthusiasts have learned better than to leave the market when things go south. On-chain data from <a href="https://x.com/intotheblock/status/1812165143624667642" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">IntoTheBlock </a>shows that “Bitcoin whales added 71K BTC to their wallets this week, as they capitalized on the recent price decrease.”

Coupled with whale accumulation, Bitcoin ETFs saw huge inflows. Yesterday, these funds received $300 million in new investments, the largest single-day inflow since early June. 
Several reasons contributed to the price decrease, including the payment of Mt. Gox’s creditors. Notably, almost a quarter of Mt. Gox’s crypto was transferred to new wallets, leading BTC prices to drop below $53K.&nbsp;

According to official reports, Mt. Gox has an October deadline to complete the distribution procedure. 
The market slump also resulted in significant liquidations in decentralized finance systems. Aave V3 Ethereum, the largest on-chain lending protocol by total value locked, liquidated $10 million worth of tokens, the most since mid-April.
