After the Mt.Gox rehabilitation trustee, Nobuaki Kobayashi, announced the commencement of the repayments of creditors funds under the rehabilitation plan in July, crypto prices registered heightened volatility. The uncertainty of how the Mt.Gox customers and creditors could use the $8 billion sent shivers to the entire crypto market in fear of the worst.
During the first round of Mt.Gox repayments, through different exchanges led by Kraken, the Bitcoin price dropped from $63k to hovering around $53k in two weeks.

According to on-chain data analysis provided by Arkham Intelligence, Mt.Gox is preparing to make more repayments soon after making strategic wallet movements. In the last 24 hours, Mt.Gox emptied four of its wallets after receiving Bitcoins worth about $370 from Kraken exchange.
With the Mt.Gox funds, amounting to 44.89K BTCs, now consolidated in a cold wallet, Arkham Intelligence believes more repayments are on the horizon to creditors who did not receive funds in the first quota.
