🚀🎉 Bitcoin enthusiasts, buckle up! The long-awaited Mt. Gox distributions seem to be in motion! On May 28, on-chain analysts spotted a whopping 42,900 BTC (worth approximately $2.9 billion) on the move. This could be just the beginning, as Mt. Gox reportedly still holds 95,061 BTC, valued around $6.53 billion. 💰💼

This massive Bitcoin move is seen as Mt. Gox preparing to return its BTC holdings to creditors before the October 31 repayment deadline, over nine years after the exchange collapsed in 2014. The company went insolvent after a devastating hack that led to the theft of 850,000 BTC, valued at $460 million at the time. 📉💔

Now, here's the twist! Analysts had previously warned that transferring the Mt. Gox-era Bitcoin could spook the market and put downward price pressure on BTC. This seems to be happening as crypto markets tanked 2.7%, with total capitalization falling to $2.68 trillion. 😱📉

Bitcoin prices fell 4% from an intraday high of $70,600 to bottom out at $67,555 during the Tuesday morning Asian trading session. It had recovered marginally to trade at $67,844 at the time of writing and was within its multi-month range-bound channel. 📊📈

However, it remains to be seen whether prices will fall further if creditors decide to liquidate their assets when they receive them instantly. So, keep your eyes peeled, BTC lovers! This could be a wild ride! 🎢👀
