Gox Trustee to facilitate the return of funds to the exchange’s creditors, including Kraken and Japanese exchanges Bitbank and SBI VC Trade. Notably, Mt. Gox still retains possession of 85,234 BTC, valued at approximately $5.70 billion. While some users within the Reddit community have confirmed the receipt of Bitcoin returned by Mt. Gox through Kraken, Bitstamp users have reported not yet receiving their allocations. Kraken had previously announced the successful reception of creditor funds from the Mt. Gox trustee amounting to over $3 billion or 48,641BTC, estimating a timeframe of 7-14 days for the complete deposit of funds into user accounts. Critical Support Zones For Bitcoin In the aftermath of the Mt. Gox payouts, market data analysis platform CryptoQuant has spotted the price correction that BTC has experienced over the past few hours, with the company noting that it has impacted the line of 1-3 month BTC holders. CryptoQuant emphasizes the importance of monitoring support levels, specifically highlighting the $63,600 area, representing the average purchase price of 3-6 month bitcoin holders. Crypto analyst Caleb Franzen, on the other hand, has observed Bitcoin returning to a familiar support zone, which has proven effective. Despite the temporary setback, Franzen contends that Bitcoin has displayed a pattern of higher highs and higher lows in the short term, indicating resilience amidst the current price volatility.

Delving into on-chain data, Martinez underscores a crucial support zone for Bitcoin between $63,440 and $65,470. Within this range, approximately 1.89 million addresses collectively purchased 1.23 million BTC, highlighting the significance of this zone as a key area to monitor in the coming days.

After a decade of anticipation, July might finally bring restitution to the users of the now-defunct Mt. Gox exchange.
Bitcoin briefly shot over $70,000 yesterday before plunging below $69,000 to spot rates. While there are hints of weakness, one analyst on X notes that inflow to exchanges like Binance and OKX is subdued, meaning that users are not keen to sell despite prices tanking and failing to break $72,000. Bitcoin Inflow To Exchanges Remain Low The analyst notes that exchange inflows are low at spot rates. As of May 28, exchanges received just 25.9K BTC daily. From historical exchange inflow data from CryptoQuant, the current inflow rate is at the 2016 level. There was a sharp pick-up in momentum after 2016, but the inflow to exchanges has been shrinking since the beginning of the year. It should be noted that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved nine spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) around this time.

While the average inflow to exchanges is at 2016 levels, there might be changes in the coming months. On May 28, Mt. Gox, the defunct crypto exchange hacked in 2014, moved over $9.4 billion of BTC, data from Token Unlocks show. This unexpected transfer sparked market concerns. Currently, the intention remains unknown. Still, the implications could be dire if they decide to liquidate on exchanges. Even with this possibility, the analyst argued that BTC’s low average exchange inflow to exchanges would be a timely cushion. Should Mt.Gox creditors decide to sell, the analyst believes the market will easily absorb this sell-off despite increased initial volatility. What this means is that the price impact will be minimal.
