The latest outflow comes three weeks after the defunct exchange transferred 2,500 BTC to an unknown address and has grabbed eye balls on crypto social media. These on-chain movements are likely related to creditor reimbursements, which were a significant source of bearish pressure this summer. In October, Mt. Gox trustee postponed the deadline for creditor repayments by one year to Oct. 31, 2025.
BTC is not showing any sign of weakness as of writing, trading steady above $103,000, CoinDesk data show.
