Mt. Gox shakes up the markets with a transfer of 1,620,$BTC

Since its fall in 2014, the ghost of Mt. Gox continues to hover over the crypto market. Each movement of its $BTC raises questions and speculations, awakening old demons among investors.
Latest episode to date: the transfer of 1,620,$BTC for a value of 172 million dollars, just after a new record of Bitcoin around 107,000 dollars. Enough to shake up the markets without shaking their stability.

Does the platform use these movements to prepare repayments? Mystery. Because historically, such actions have preceded distributions to creditors, but without ever arousing as much interest. The timing, however, is thought-provoking: these transfers come just hours after Bitcoin flirted with its new all-time high.

Yet, contrary to expectations, Bitcoin remained surprisingly stable, hovering around $106,500 after this massive transfer. A situation that suggests that markets are now more resilient to “historic” shocks in the crypto ecosystem.

Markets started the weekly trade on a bullish note after the price of $BTC registered a new ATH above $106,600. This triggered a massive surge in some altcoins, while others chose to trade in a tight range. $ONDO, for example, leads the top 100 with an increase of over 15%, while Fantom ($FTM ) and Virtuals Protocol ($VIRTUAL) maintain a growth of over 13% each. With a bullish start, the question arises whether these tokens can maintain their dominance until the end of the day.

#Ethereum Fees Explode to $67 Million $ ! Who Benefits from This Increase?

This 17.9% increase in weekly fees is the highest since April 2024. The increase in these fees is mainly attributed to the increased activity on #DeFi platforms, where crypto users are leveraging wrapped assets like Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) and Wrapped Ethereum (WETH) to borrow stablecoins and maximize the utility of their collateral.

Additionally, one of the main players in this increased activity is #Aave, a major DeFi protocol on Ethereum, which has seen an impressive $500 million in net inflows over the past week. This dynamic is reminiscent of the peaks seen during the 2022 bull market, with interest rates sometimes exceeding 40% on some platforms #crypto.
