As reported by Coin68 on the morning of July 5, the Bitcoin wallet of Mt. Gox suddenly transferred 47,299 BTC , worth $2.71 billion, to a new address.

Before that, Mt. Gox confirmed it will begin returning 142,000 BTC assets to customers this July, 10 years since the exchange was hacked in 2014, causing a loss of 850,000 BTC.
