German Government and Mt. Gox Triggered Recent Bitcoin Sell-Off

The recent slump in the cryptocurrency market may be attributed to large sell-offs triggered by the German government and Mt. Gox distributions, according to Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange QCP Capital. Despite a rally in stocks and gold since last week, the crypto market has seen significant sell-offs, pushing prices down across the board. The German government recently sold off a portion of its confiscated Bitcoin, while Mt. Gox, the infamous cryptocurrency exchange that collapsed in 2014, has been distributing Bitcoin to users who lost funds in the hack. These large inflows of Bitcoin into the market have likely contributed to the sell-off, as investors take profits and rebalance their portfolios. It remains to be seen whether the sell-off will continue or if the market will stabilize in the coming days and weeks.
