US Govt and Mt. Gox Shift Millions in Hidden Crypto Transfers
New blockchain movements from the US government and Mt. Gox are drawing trader scrutiny, with delayed creditor payouts helping calm market fears.
Blockchain tool Arkham detected small but impactful moves that could have lasting effects for months.
The US government and Mt. Gox, the defunct Japanese exchange, made significant transfers that have traders watching closely.
US Government Moves Seized Crypto
Blockchain intelligence firm Arkham revealed that the US government recently moved $23,000 worth of WIN tokens on Tron. These assets were seized from Alameda Research nearly two years ago.

While small in dollar terms, the move signals that authorities are still actively managing high-profile crypto seizures.
Such transfers can precede auctions, compliance actions, or other administrative steps, with minor movements, just like major ones, capable of influencing market sentiment for linked tokens.

Mt. Gox Transfers $16.8 Million in Bitcoin
More attention is focused on Mt. Gox, which transferred 185 BTC, valued at approximately $16.8 million, to the following a test transaction. An additional $936 million in Bitcoin was shifted to another Mt. Gox wallet, according to Arkham.

This follows the exchange’s last major transfer, eight months ago, when $77.4 million in Bitcoin was sent to Kraken for creditor distributions.
On October 27, Mt. Gox announced that Bitcoin repayments will now occur by October 31, 2026. This locks 34,689 BTC, approximately $4 billion, and temporarily removes a significant source of potential selling pressure.
“It has become desirable to make the repayments to such rehabilitation creditors to the extent reasonably practicable,” rehabilitation trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi stated in the letter, citing court approval for the one-year extension.
Analysts say the delay calms Mt. Gox FUD and provides near-term market clarity. By pushing the next major liquidity event out by a year, investors gain stability and confidence amid delayed selling pressure.
