Infamous crypto exchange Mt. Gox has transferred another 2,237 BTC, equivalent to about $147 million, to Bitstamp just hours ago. This move is part of the ongoing process to repay creditors, following a series of jaw-dropping&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-receives-breaking-bullish-buy-signal-from-crucial-indicator" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> transfers over the past few weeks.
Since early July, Mt. Gox has shifted a total of 54,662 BTC, valued at approximately $3.44 billion. These transfers have included substantial amounts sent to various platforms, including Bitbank and Bitstamp, and a significant deposit to a wallet likely associated with Kraken. <img alt="&quot;&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fad881b7-fce1-4c9f-96fb-6262eeb8f139" src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/GTO3xrZaYAI8W7E.jpeg">Source: <a href="https://platform.test.spotonchain.ai/en/entity/2182" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Spot On Chain</a>
Initially, the market reacted with concern, fearing that the release of these long-held Bitcoins might trigger a sell-off, as Mt. Gox creditors have been waiting over a decade to receive their assets.
However, recent analysis from&nbsp;<a href="https://cryptoquant.com/insights/quicktake/66a0a3f20a078b098f014268-MtGox-Refunds-Users-Choose-to-Hodl-Over-Selling?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=sns&amp;utm_campaign=quicktake&amp;utm_content=onchainschool" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CryptoQuant</a> suggests a more positive outlook. Data reveals a notable increase in Bitcoin withdrawals from Kraken following distribution to&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-btc-price-slips-as-mt-gox-repayments-pick-up-steam" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mt. Gox</a> users. This trend indicates that rather than selling, many recipients are moving their Bitcoin to cold storage, potentially signaling a long-term holding strategy. <img alt="&quot;&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c9faa340-5a6c-4720-aa8d-24d27538b906" src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/image_2024-07-24_16-27-25.png">Source: <a href="https://cryptoquant.com/insights/quicktake/66a0a3f20a078b098f014268-MtGox-Refunds-Users-Choose-to-Hodl-Over-Selling?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=sns&amp;utm_campaign=quicktake&amp;utm_content=onchainschool" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CryptoQuant</a>
Despite the large-scale transfers, the increase in withdrawals from Kraken points to a potential reduction in immediate selling pressure.
Currently, 90,344&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/peter-schiff-claims-bitcoin-can-easily-collapse-to-3k-if-this-happens" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>, worth around $6 billion, remains in the exchange's wallets. The ongoing question is whether this holding behavior will help stabilize or even boost Bitcoin's price, countering initial fears and uncertainties surrounding the Mt. Gox repayments.
