JPMorgan, CoinShares Predict Bitcoin Shift Due to $9 Billion Mt. Gox Payout

As Mt. Gox prepares to distribute approximately $9 billion in Bitcoin to its creditors, analysts at JPMorgan and CoinShares anticipate significant implications for BTC. Mt. Gox was once the largest Bitcoin
exchange before its collapse in 2014. Now, the bankrupt exchange is expected to return around 141,000 BTC to users who lost funds during its shutdown.
Impact of Mt. Gox Refund on Bitcoin
The impending payout from Mt. Gox amounts to about 0.7% of the total 19.7 million Bitcoins currently in circulation, which is a significant holding. As such, CoinShares’ head of research James Butterfill expressed concern about the potential market impact of such a massive Bitcoin release. He noted that the release of this Bitcoin hoard has been a concern for those bullish on BTC.
Furthermore, it indicates market sensitivity to news related to such events. Butterfill noted, “With the announcement that the Trust will begin selling in July, investors are understandably concerned,” according to a CNBC report.
John Glover, Chief Investment Officer (CIO) at Ledn, echoed these sentiments. He foresees a scenario in which many creditors may choose to sell their Bitcoins for gains. Glover noted: “Many will clearly cash out and take advantage of the fact that having their assets tied up in the Mt. Gox bankruptcy was the best investment they ever made.”
Furthermore, his observation highlights the dramatic increase in Bitcoin’s price since the closure of Mt. Gox. The price of BTC has skyrocketed from around $600 per coin in 2014 to over $63,200 today. Previously, Bitcoin reached a high of $73,800 in March 2024, potentially due to the launch of spot BTC ETFs in January.
Furthermore, JP Morgan Analysts also assessed the potential impact of Mt. Gox’s creditors liquidating its bitcoin holdings. They anticipate the sell-off could put pressure on bitcoin prices in the short term. In a recent research note, JPMorgan analysts stated: “Assuming that the majority of settlements by Mt. Gox occurs in July, this creates a trajectory where cryptocurrency prices come under additional pressure in July, but begin to recover from August onwards.”

Gemini Effect to Continue with Mt. Gox Refund
The anticipated Bitcoin selloff follows a similar pattern seen on Gemini, another cryptocurrency exchange. Earlier last month, Gemini returned over $2 billion worth of Bitcoin to users in June. This event coincided with a significant recovery in Bitcoin’s price after Gemini resumed withdrawals from its Earn lending program, which had been suspended months earlier.
Analysts at JPMorgan also drew parallels to this recent event. They noted that Gemini’s return of funds led to negative price movements as retail clients likely took profits out of Bitcoin. Furthermore, they suggested that a similar scenario could unfold with Mt. Gox’s creditors.
Analysts at JPMorgan expected some lenders to choose to sell their Bitcoin holdings to capitalize on the cryptocurrency’s impressive gains. Additionally, a worrying liquidation trend has been noted for the German and American governments. Today, the German government offloaded another 400 BTC to Coinbase, Kraken, and Bitstamp.
The latest dump pushes the German government’s total Bitcoin sale to over 2,700 BTC since June. Additionally, the US government divested a whopping 4,000 BTC last month. These sales had a huge impact on the price of Bitcoin due to the FUD in the market.
Furthermore, just the announcement of Mount Gox refunds pushed the price of BTC to $59,000 in June. This suggests that with the actual payment, the price of Bitcoin could be ready for an even bigger drop. Furthermore, miner capitulation increased due to a massive drop in hash price, suggesting further liquidations.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Cryptocurrency Markets Look Ready to ‘Send’ as Stars Align, According to Investor Chris Burniske

Cryptocurrency investor Chris Burniske says Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SUN) and the cryptocurrency market in general seem poised for a run.
Former Head of Cryptocurrency at ARK Invest account his 292,200 followers on social media platform X that several catalysts are aligning, suggesting that digital asset markets are on the verge of a bull run.
According to Burniske, a partner at venture capital firm Placeholder, the highly anticipated launch of Ethereum-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaking at an upcoming Bitcoin event, and the current state of the BTC, ETH, and SOL charts all suggest significant optimism for the cryptocurrency markets.
“With ETH ETFs set to go live, Trump speaking at The Bitcoin Conference, and BTC, ETH, and SOL charts looking [they do] (while stocks are weak), it’s hard to imagine a world where we don’t ship next week.”
Reuters recently reported that preliminary approval for ETH ETFs has been granted as the Bitcoin Conference is scheduled to take place from July 25-27.
BTC, ETH, and SOL are trading at $67,333, $3,528, and $174 at the time of writing, respectively.
The venture capitalist too provides an update on his prediction that the total crypto market cap will eventually hit $10 trillion. According to his chart, the path to $10 trillion is currently “23%” complete, as it sits around $2.2 trillion.

Here’s the next target for BTC before bulls can hold out for $70K

Bitcoin’s recovery is going well, and the market is seemingly poised to create a new all-time high in the near term.
Technical analysis
Per NegotiationRage
The daily chart
As the daily chart shows, the price of Bitcoin has been rising since it broke above the 200-day moving average.
The market has also reclaimed the $60K and $65K levels and is moving towards the $68K resistance zone, which could be the last hurdle before creating a new all-time high. With the RSI also indicating that the price has clear bullish momentum, it could be just a matter of time.
The 4-hour chart
Looking at the 4-hour chart, it is evident that the price has been rising rapidly since breaking the downtrend line to the upside. The market also broke the $65K resistance level with momentum, turning it into a support.
While almost everything points to a new record high in the coming weeks, there is one worrying sign. The RSI is showing a clear bearish divergence between recent price highs, which could indicate a correction or even a reversal in the near term.
