Mt. Gox transferred $2.2 billion worth of Bitcoin as it faces an extended repayment timeline impacting thousands of creditors after a significant security breach in 2014. The transfer involved 32,371 BTC, with 30,371 BTC sent to a specific wallet. Earlier this year, there was another smaller transfer of 500 BTC, marking the exchange's first activity since then. The movements are part of the ongoing repayment process for creditors affected by the loss of approximately 850,000 BTC, which was valued at over $15 billion. This transfer comes during a period of market volatility, as Bitcoin fluctuated between $65,000 and $73,000. Bitcoin's price experienced a slight decline, but showed resilience with a recent price of around $68,700. Market analysts expect further price swings due to upcoming U.S. election activities. The historical significance of Mt. Gox remains considerable, as it once handled over 70% of global Bitcoin transactions before its collapse, emphasizing the ongoing complexities of crypto market dynamics.
