Gox address transferred 33,100 Bitcoins in total during the last 24 hours. This development puts investors on the edge of their seats hinting at chances of another BTC sell-off coming ahead.
$2 Billion in Bitcoins Move to OKX
As per the latest report from PeckShield Alert, a Mt. Gox-labeled address has transferred a total of 33.1K BTC valued at a staggering $2 billion to a new address starting with bc1qpn…7k53. Furthermore, the Mt. Gox address transferred a total of 117 BTC worth $7 million to the crypto exchange OKX in the last 24 hours.
This development comes a day after Mt. Gox transferred $2 billion in Bitcoins to crypto exchange BitGo as part of the final creditors’ payment in BTC and BCH.
Mt. Gox’s recent distribution of funds has made substantial progress with nearly 70% of the process being completed. Over $3.2 billion worth of Bitcoin has been distributed to 17,000 creditors. However, investors need to be watchful of BTC price movements going ahead amid the Mt. Gox movements.
“There has been a recent surge in activity among long-dormant Bitcoin holdings, causing fluctuations in the market. When these long-dormant Bitcoins are moved, it often leads to increased selling pressure in the market,” reported CryptoQuant.
