Mt. Gox, the defunct cryptocurrency exchange, has once again executed a major Bitcoin transfer as part of its ongoing creditor repayment process.
On Tuesday, the exchange moved 11,501.4 BTC, valued at approximately $1 billion, across two wallets. This marks the second large-scale transaction of this magnitude in March, drawing attention from investors who are closely monitoring potential BTC price fluctuations.
According to blockchain data, 10,608 BTC (worth $929.7 million) was transferred to a new wallet, while 893.4 BTC (valued at $78.3 million) was moved to a warm wallet, as reported by Spot On Chain. This transaction follows an earlier Mt. Gox transfer that saw 332 BTC ($25.5 million) deposited into the cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp. Market analysts speculate that the 893.4 BTC sent to the warm wallet may also be moved soon, which could further influence market dynamics.
Earlier this month, Mt. Gox transferred 12,000 BTC when Bitcoin was trading around $92,000. Since that time, BTC has corrected nearly 7% and is currently hovering around $86,500. The surge in Bitcoin’s daily trading volume, which has risen by 97% to reach $33.37 billion, indicates heightened market activity in response to these movements.
The series of large Bitcoin transfers from Mt. Gox has raised concerns among traders about potential impacts on liquidity and price stability. Given the exchange’s history and its ongoing repayment obligations, any substantial BTC movement is under close scrutiny. Some analysts warn that if more funds are liquidated, it could drive further volatility, particularly with Bitcoin near crucial price levels. However, others argue that the market has largely priced in these transactions, suggesting that any immediate impact may be short-lived.
While Peter Schiff made this catastrophic price prediction, the crypto sector saw a new token emerge that could change the crypto game. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is a new meme token that brings together two of the strongest ecosystems in the crypto world: Bitcoin and Ethereum.
What makes the BTC Bull Token so special is its drive to spread Bitcoin ownership to everyday people.
$BTCBULL is a decentralized token that combines the power of meme culture with real Bitcoin rewards. Every time Bitcoin reaches a price milestone, holders of $BTCBULL receive BTC airdrops.
Furthermore, the token is subject to a burn mechanism, which reduces its supply and increases its value.
His prediction is rooted in growing instability across traditional financial systems and what he believes is the emergence of the most powerful bull market in history.
