US Government aynd Mt. Gox Move Large Amounts Of BTC As Market Shows Mixed Reactions

The US government has recently deposited 58.74 BTC, valued at approximately $3.96 million, into Coinbase Prime. In 2024 alone, the US government has moved out a total of 6,261 BTC, worth around $392 million, primarily after the Bitcoin price increase in late February.

Of this, 5,999 BTC, totaling $376 million, has been sent to Coinbase. Currently, the US government still holds 213,000 BTC, amounting to about $14.3 billion.

Meanwhile, Mt. Gox has also been active, transferring 2,239 BTC, valued at $149 million, to Bitstamp today. This is part of their ongoing effort to repay creditors, which began with the deposit of 1,545 BTC ($83.5 million) to Bitbank on July 5. Additionally, Mt. Gox moved 48,641 BTC ($3.06 billion) to what is likely a Kraken deposit on July 16 and has now moved 2,239 BTC to Bitstamp.

Bitcoin Likely To Drop Further Once This Line Breaks 

This activity has influenced Bitcoin’s price, which recently fell to around $66,700, closely aligning with the average purchase price of $66,500 for 1-3 month Bitcoin holders. Should this support level break, attention will shift to the 3-6 month holders’ average purchase price of $63,600.

Investor sentiment suggests a decreased willingness to sell Bitcoin, potentially reducing market supply. If demand remains steady or increases, this could lead to price rises.

On July 22, 2024, Bitcoin ETF net inflows were significant, with a reported $534 million, marking the 12th consecutive day of positive inflows.

BlackRock’s ETF saw half a billion in inflows, the largest since March 2024. In contrast, VanEck’s ETF experienced a $38.4 million outflow, its largest since inception. Grayscale’s ETF reported no net flow.
