- The Mt.Gox BTC transfer was worth over $9 billion.
- The BTC price has now dropped below the $68,000 range.
Recently, analysts observed significant Bitcoin [BTC] movements originating from the defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox. Despite these notable transfers, data indicates that the BTCs have yet to enter the market and have had no impact so far.
The Mt.Gox Bitcoin move
Analysis of Mt. Gox’s Bitcoin holdings on CryptoQuant revealed a recent substantial decline in their holdings.
According to an analysis of the chart, approximately 140,000 BTC, valued at around $9.4 billion, were transferred from the defunct exchange.
The analysis showed that these transfers reduced the Mt. Gox supply on exchanges to around 0.1 BTC.
Mt. Gox infamously suspended trading closed its website, and filed for bankruptcy protection in February 2014, following the loss of approximately 850,000 Bitcoin, partly due to a hack. Despite this recent movement, exchange flow has remained normal.
Analysing impact on Bitcoin exchange flow
The analysis of Bitcoin Netflow on CryptoQuant indicated no significant trend in recent days. On 27th May, there was a negative flow of approximately 178 BTC, valued at over $12 million.
Conversely, on 29th May, there was a positive flow of around 3,270 BTC, worth over $248 million. While these figures are notable, they do not stand out as extraordinary.
Therefore, the recent movement from the defunct exchange did not have any significant impact on the market.

Additionally, analysis of the Bitcoin supply on exchanges using Santiment data revealed no significant movements.
The chart indicated that between 27th May and the present, the supply on exchanges increased by approximately 2,000.
