🔵The price of Bitcoin fell below USD 54,000 after it was learned that the defunct Mt. Gox exchange would be beginning to pay its creditors.

🔵Although the total amount that Mt. Gox has to pay is 142,000 BTC, for now only 75,000 BTC will enter circulation, of which the first 47,000 BTC are already in motion.

🔵The capitulation of miners could be coming to an end, according to an analysis by the firm VanEck. After the halving, miners have been forced to close operations and sell BTC due to their lack of profitability.

🔵According to F2Pool, with the price of bitcoin below USD 56,000 only 6 miner models are still profitable.

🔵German deputy Joana Cotar criticized her country's government for selling the seized bitcoins instead of integrating them into a national treasury strategy. However, Germany transferred another 547 BTC (around USD 30M) today to market maker Flow Traders.

At this time, high priority fees in Bitcoin reach 9 sats/vB (around USD 0.69), while in Ethereum the highest priority fee is 9 gwei (USD 0.49).
