Mt. Gox, which was once the largest cryptocurrency exchange globally before its shutdown in 2014, recently transferred 500 Bitcoin (worth roughly over $34 million) to two unidentified wallets.

This transaction, conducted early Friday, marked the first transfer from the defunct exchange since late September of this year.

Details Of The 500 BTC Transfer

Blockchain analytics firms such as Lookonchain and Arkham has reported that 31.78 BTC was sent to one address and 468.24 BTC to another, with both wallets subsequently dispersing portions of the funds to various other addresses.

While the recipients of these funds remain unknown, the transaction has sparked speculation. However, past transfers from Mt. Gox wallets have often signaled upcoming repayments to creditors, who have been awaiting compensation since the platform’s collapse.

These prior distributions were typically facilitated through major crypto exchange platforms such as Bitstamp and Kraken. Currently, Mt. Gox retains a substantial holding of 44,905 BTC, valued at more than $3 billion.

This recent transfer follows an October announcement by Mt. Gox that extended its repayment deadline from October 31, 2024, to October 31, 2025.

Bitcoin Price Performance Following The Transfer

Following the recorded transfer from Mt.Gox, Bitcoin’s price initially surged, reaching a 24-hour high of $71,500 in the early hours of Friday.

However, a correction has followed, with Bitcoin now trading down by 1.5%, settling at a price of $69,450, at the time of writing. This dip is seen as a disappointment to investors, especially as Bitcoin recently experienced an optimistic rally that nearly pushed it above its all-time high of $73,737 set in March 2024.

Despite the slight downturn, Bitcoin’s market fundamentals remain resilient. A recent analysis by a CryptoQuant analyst highlights that significant buying pressure is emerging from Binance futures whales, who are reportedly driving much of Bitcoin’s recent gains.

According to the analyst, this futures-led buying momentum marks the strongest pressure observed in the Binance futures market since September 2023. This trend is not only visible with Bitcoin but also extends to other major assets like Ethereum, indicating broader market engagement from high-value traders.
