Now that the first approval of the ETFs took place last week and the final one is expected to be announced after the approaching SEC meeting in June, large whales are starting to accumulate the second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum.
According to a recent tweet published by the popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez, there is now a massive increase in the number of new ETH wallets that hold 10,000 ETH or more. This indicates a shift from selling to accumulation, the analyst pointed out.
According to Whale Alert, more than $5.1 billion worth of Bitcoin was moved from the exchange to a new wallet. Experts began sharing opinions on the X app that the embattled exchange had finally begun repaying its debt to creditors, who suffered immense financial losses when Mt. Gox collapsed in 2014.
However, the platform’s former CEO, Mark Karpeles, tweeted that the funds were just being moved to a new wallet, and no immediate Bitcoin selling was happening by Mt. Gox. Currently, the new unmarked blockchain wallet created by Mt. Gox for further payouts to creditors holds 141,686 BTC, evaluated at roughly $9.62 billion. These were the first transfers to this wallet since 2019.
A total of 142,000 BTC and 143,000 BCH are expected to be distributed to creditors before the end of October this year.
