Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a 3% decline due to defunct exchange Mt. Gox moving coins internally for potential creditor repayments. After the movement, BTC briefly fell below $63,000 before rebounding. The exchange, which lost large amounts of bitcoin in a hack and is now repaying its debt, sparked concerns of mass selling by creditors who have been awaiting reimbursements for a decade. This decline also impacted the broader market, with ether falling over 2.5% to $3,400 and the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) dropping over 2% to 2,182.
One observer said the movement of coins was likely a part of the exchange's creditor reimbursement plan. Bitcoin (BTC) faced renewed selling pressure on Tuesday after blockchain data showed defunct exchange Mt. Gox started moving coins internally for potential repayments to creditors. The leading cryptocurrency by market value dipped 3% briefly falling below $63,000, after testing the $65,000 mark during the early Asian trading hours, according to CoinDesk. The decline happened as the wallet associated with Mt. Gox initially moved 0.021 BTC ($1,000) to the blockchain address: 1EoZd1QNCiN9JbnsqvLRDbHKLygAsXHg3V. The small movement, supposedly a transfer test, was followed by a significant movement of 44,527 BTC ($2.84 billion) to an internal wallet, according to data tracked by Arkham Intelligence. The movement was likely a part of the repayment plan, according to on-chain sleuth Lookonchain.
Mt. Gox, once the largest bitcoin exchange in the world, went bust in 2014 after it lost hundreds of thousands of bitcoin in a hack. The exchange began repaying its debt on July 4, spurring fears of mass selling by creditors who have waited for reimbursements for a decade. Bitcoin's drop weighed over the broader market, with ether, the second-largest digital asset by market value, dipping over 2.5% to $3,400. The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), a broader market gauge, fell over 2% to 2,182.
