Mt. Gox Moves $2.2 Billion in Bitcoin, Sparking Speculation
According to Arkham, Mt. Gox has executed a substantial transfer of Bitcoin amounting to approximately $2.2 billion, sending the cryptocurrency to unidentified wallet addresses.
This significant transaction follows a smaller movement of 500 BTC that took place just a week earlier, raising speculation about the intent behind these large transfers.
Notably, this latest activity marks Mt. Gox’s first major Bitcoin transfer since late September, reigniting curiosity about the exchange’s considerable holdings and the potential effects on the cryptocurrency market.
Currently, Mt. Gox holds a staggering total of 44,378 BTC, valued at around $3.03 billion based on Bitcoin’s price of $68,371. However, recent fluctuations in the market have resulted in a valuation decline of approximately $32.97 million due to Bitcoin’s recent drop of $743. This highlights the sensitivity of large crypto holdings to market volatility.
