Bitcoin Transfer from Mt. Gox to Bitstamp Suggests Imminent Payout
It appears that Mt. Gox has moved approximately $75.36 million worth of Bitcoin to a Bitstamp wallet, potentially signaling an upcoming payout to creditors.
Arkham Intelligence’s data shows that 1,264.69 BTC was transferred from Mt. Gox’s cold wallet to another wallet, at around 8:49 a.m. UTC. The blockchain analytics firm confirmed that this wallet belongs to Bitstamp.
Additionally, the transaction data revealed that Mt. Gox’s cold wallet received Bitcoin the previous night from another one of their wallets, in a transaction that sent 12,000 BTC (valued at $709.44 million) to an unknown address.
Bitstamp is among the centralized exchanges selected by Mt. Gox’s trustee to facilitate Bitcoin repayments to creditors of the defunct exchange. Other exchanges, such as Kraken, have already begun processing these repayments.
