Yesterday, Lookonchain X handle reported a transfer of 11,834 Bitcoins worth around $931.19 million made by Mt. Gox.

Earlier this month, on March 6, the exchange made a $1.07 billion transfer to a new wallet, followed by a smaller transfer of $15 million. These movements took place amid a severe downturn on the crypto market, with Bitcoin plunging to lows of $76,000 and Ethereum dropping below $1,800, the lowest level since October 2023.

The final repayment deadline was extended to Oct. 31, 2025, which alleviated concerns about imminent selling pressure. However, Mt. Gox's transfers continue to attract significant attention within the crypto community.

At press time, ADA is trading at $0.7240, up 1.01% over the past 24 hours, per data from the aforementioned source.
