Mt Gox’s 200K Bitcoin Release Expected in 60 Days— BTC Price To Fall Soon

Published by

In a recent Reddit update, MtGox has progressed in its compensation process, reaching out to users through confirmation emails to verify ownership of exchange address accounts for Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) payments. This verification aligns with broader compensation efforts, fortifying security measures to ensure users receive their rightful compensation.

Following the confirmation process, there is a belief that Mt. Gox is gearing up to release a substantial amount of Bitcoin, ranging between 142,000 BTC to 200,000 BTC.

This lack of agreement has made everyone in the crypto community pay even closer attention. Now, there’s a chance that 200,000 BTC might be released in the next 60 days, and everyone in the market is getting really watchful.

Systematic Distribution (and Why it Matters)

As the repayment phase unfolds, MtGox is systematically distributing its substantial cryptocurrency holdings and funds in Japanese yen. This includes 142,000 BTC, 143,000 BCH, and 69 billion yen, among other assets, to creditors who have successfully undergone the verification process.

This strategic move marks a significant milestone in the MtGox saga, providing assurance to creditors that their compensation claims are undergoing careful and thorough processing.

What Users Need to Do

Users are strongly urged to follow the instructions in the confirmation emails carefully. This is crucial to validate and confirm ownership of exchange address accounts associated with BTC and BCH payments. MtGox’s commitment to a meticulous verification process underscores its dedication to the security and accuracy of compensation distribution.

Market Implications

As MtGox gradually fulfills its compensation obligations, industry analysts anticipate an uptick in selling pressure on Bitcoin, potentially leading to a decline in its market price. Presently, Bitcoin has experienced a 3% dip in the last 24 hours, currently valued at $39,951. Within this timeframe, it reached a low of $39,450 and a high of $41,242.

Intriguingly, trading activity has surged by 120% in the last 24 hours, indicating increased interest among investors.
