Mt. Gox Mt. Gox creditors are set to receive Bitcoin Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash from Bitstamp Bitstamp starting tomorrow.

What's the scoop?

  • Received Assets: The exchange received Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum Ethereum from the Mt. Gox trustees today.
  • Initial Transfers: Mt. Gox first transferred 2,237 BTC ($147M) and another 382 BTC ($25M) to Bitstamp.
  • Additional Transfers: A Mt. Gox-associated wallet transferred 32,371 BTC ($2.13B) to an unknown address. Another transfer of about $2.8B in Bitcoin was also reported.
  • Creditors and Amount: Approximately 20,000 former Mt. Gox users will receive over $9B of crypto in total.

Bankless Take:

For $9B of sell pressure coming online, the market is holding up well so far — Bitcoin in particular. With Kraken Kraken beginning distributions yesterday, it seems that the market gets more scared when countries sell their coins — even if the sizes proves larger. With consensus seeming to form around Bitcoin outperforming Ethereum in the short-term due to ETF dumps, any dips from these sales may be best viewed as opportunities to buy.
