- **Transaction ID**: 2171d96446f26e86aa09321424d7cc6fd1a06bbcef5a855bf554ea08d42a6217
- **Mt. Gox's previous address**: 1HeHLv7ZRFxWUVjuWkWT2D5XFbXXvHoV68
- **New address**: 1L7XbxQSLQX2fkf8MiJNp4ok8TSD5J6onk
This action follows a similar pattern observed in May when large transfers were made to new wallets. It was later announced that Mt. Gox would start repaying creditors in BTC and BCH from early July 2024.
Given this context, it is plausible that this recent transfer might be preparatory for the upcoming repayments. However, it could also be routine wallet management or security measures. Without an official announcement from Mt. Gox, it's difficult to ascertain the exact intent behind this transfer. Stay tuned for any updates from Mt. Gox regarding this matter.
