<p>Crypto analysts highlighted that the drop in Bitcoin’s price around the current level is not due to the Mt. Gox repayment process which started this month.</p> 
<p>According to analysts, BTC’s price drop is mostly due to a decline in market sentiment, and seasonal trends, rather than the moves that are being made by the defunct crypto exchange.</p> 
<p>Yesterday, we reported that the Mt Gox repayments to creditors have now <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/mt-gox-creditor-repayments-at-40-following-todays-2-5b-in-bitcoin-transfer/">reached about 40%</a> following a recent transfer of 37,477 BTC worth around $2.4 billion to an unknown wallet on July 24.</p>
