Wednesday: Market Overview

On Wednesday, July 24, BTC declined by 0.75%. Following a 2.52% loss on Tuesday, July 23, BTC ended the session at $65,398.

Mt. Gox: BTC Movement Spooks Investors

On Wednesday, Arkham Intelligence announced that Mt. Gox transferred 2,869 BTC to new wallets. Mt. Gox still holds 80,128 BTC ($5.32 billion) despite transfers of 48,641 BTC to Kraken and 5,106 BTC to Bitstamp.

Bitstamp confirmed receipt of the Mt. Gox transfers, stating,

“Bitstamp today received bitcoin (BTC), bitcoin cash (BCH), and ethereum (ETH) from the Mt. Gox trustees, which it will begin to distribute to Bitstamp customers from tomorrow (July 25). Recipients will have full control of their assets within a week of receipt following the completion of security checks.”

Concerns linger that creditors will flood the crypto market, impacting the supply-demand trend supporting the bullish momentum since the Bitcoin Halving event.

However, the crypto market may need to wait a week to see if creditors will offload their crypto. The uncertainty may continue to impact BTC demand. A surge in volumes on Kraken and Bitstamp could bring sub-$55,000 into play.

US BTC-Spot ETF Market Reflects Investor Uncertainty

On Tuesday, the US BTC-spot ETF market ended a 12-day inflow streak as investors monitored BTC flows from Mt. Gox to the exchanges. Oversupply jitters and a possible BTC price correction impacted demand for US BTC-spot ETFs.

According to Farside Investors,

  • On Wednesday, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) saw net outflows of $26.2 million.
  • ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) had net inflows of $3.3 million.
  • Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) reported net inflows of $1.4 million.
  • Excluding flow data for iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO), the US BTC-spot ETF market saw total net outflows of $21.5 million. (Previous day: Outflows of $78.0 million).

Investors should remain alert. Mt. Gox-related updates and US crypto-spot ETF flow data will influence the crypto market. Monitor real-time data and expert commentary to adjust your trading strategies accordingly. Stay up-to-date with our latest news and analysis to manage crypto market risk.
