Impact of Mt. Gox Repayments on Bitcoin Market in 2024
Mt. Gox will begin repaying $9 billion worth of Bitcoin to its users, marking a significant event in the crypto space.
Mt. Gox collapsed in 2014 after a massive hack, leading to a loss of control over its accounting processes and suffering for its creditors.
Approximately 20,000 creditors will start receiving their repayments in July 2024.
The distribution of over 140,000 BTC could add selling pressure to the market, as early investors may sell part of their holdings.
Previous substantial liquidity events, such as the FTX collapse, have led to increased volatility in Bitcoin prices, indicating potential similar outcomes from the Mt. Gox repaymen..
Bitcoin is currently trading at $60,924 with a market cap of $1.2 trillion and faces weakness, trading below key exponential moving averages.
