Gox Moves $784 Million And This Solana GameFi Crypto Closes On $2 Million"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Bitcoin price plunged 3% in the last 24 hours <\/span>to trade at $59,553<\/span><\/a> as of 03:18 a.m. EST on trading volume that dropped 7% to $27 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

This comes as an address associated with the defunct crypto exchange Mt. Gox moved 13,265 BTC worth $784 million. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, the latest batch of on-chain movement of BTC may not translate into substantial selling pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

CORRECTION — in a prior tweet i said mt gox tx’d $1.5bn onchain. it was half that — $700m. (sorry, i misread my alerts)<\/p>\n

AND, we now think that of the 13,265 BTC moved in this tx, only 1,265 ($74.5m) is meant to distro, w\/ 12,000 going to estate fresh cold storage<\/p>\n

so, very small<\/p>\n
