According to Arkham, the exchange transferred more than 5,110 BTC to an internal address, and another 37,377 BTC to a new wallet. Then, from the first address, MTGox transferred 1,980 BTC to the Bitstamp platform. On July 22, the company made several transfers between internal addresses, sending about 0.02 BTC. Presumably, this was a test transfer of funds, experts noted.
Recall that the exchange has previously acted in a similar manner, making a test transaction for a small amount before moving 139,000 BTC on July 16.
According to Arkham experts, the movement of funds is part of the exchange’s stated program to repay its debt to its creditors. Against the backdrop of a major movement, the Bitcoin rate showed a decline from $68,250 to $66,330 on the largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance.
Earlier, creditors of the MtGox exchange said they were concerned about a series of unauthorized attempts to log into their accounts.
