As an analyst with a background in cryptocurrency and experience in market analysis, I find the recent price movement of Bitcoin concerning. The news of Mt. Gox conducting trial transactions and the German Federal Criminal Police Office transferring large amounts of bitcoin has caused panic among investors, leading to a significant dip in Bitcoin’s price below $57,000.
The price of Bitcoin reached new lows, dropping below $57,000 on Thursday for the first time since May. This significant decline was triggered by Mt. Gox, a defunct crypto exchange, conducting trial transactions from its wallet and the German Federal Criminal Police Office executing transactions worth $175 million.
As a crypto investor, I’m excited to share that after six long years, Mt. Gox has announced that they will make payments to their creditors this month. I sadly remember the hack in 2014 that caused them to lose their bitcoin holdings, leading to their unfortunate shutdown. The wait has been filled with uncertainty and numerous delays, but the bankruptcy estate recently made an important announcement: approximately 140,000 bitcoins will be distributed to wallets of defrauded Mt. Gox users.
With a large influx of assets joining the bitcoin market recently, its current stability is being tested. Following the announcement of upcoming repayments earlier this month, bitcoin’s price experienced a dip below $60,000 just a few days ago.
Recently, Mt. Gox’s Bitcoin wallet has become active once again, triggering concerns among its users and leading to a wave of sell-offs. This activity saw the transfer of $25 to three different addresses as test transactions, suggesting that larger sums will be moved soon for the purpose of repaying all outstanding debts to its creditors.
As an analyst, I’ve observed that Bitcoin’s value took a downturn in response to certain events and may potentially drop lower, with some experts predicting it could reach as low as $50,000. This price fluctuation can be attributed in part to the Bundesbank (BKA) selling large quantities of Bitcoins, totaling millions of dollars, over the past few weeks.
The BKA transferred an additional $175 million worth of bitcoin from its digital wallet. Of this amount, $75 million was sent to crypto exchanges for possible sales. Typically, wallets transfer their holdings to trading platforms to convert or sell assets. Based on the exchanges it selected (Kraken, Bitstamp, and Coinbase), it is likely that the BKA intends to dispose of $75 million through these specific platforms.
