Bitcoin Falls To $61,300 As Mt. Gox Moves BTC, Raising Selloff Concerns
Bitcoin fell to around $61,300 as markets reacted to Mt. Gox moving funds, raising selloff concerns. The defunct exchange transferred 116.3 BTC (worth ~$8.16 million) directly to Bitstamp, following a larger earlier move of 10,422.65 BTC (~$739 million) to a new wallet. The trustee is working towards the final creditor repayment deadline of October 31, 2026. While most eligible creditors have been repaid, roughly 24,081 BTC (~$1.55 billion) remains under Mt. Gox control, and its on-chain movements are closely watched for potential market pressure. Bitcoin later recovered above $64,000.
