CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: Why the Mt. Gox Repayments May Not Hurt the Bitcoin Price Much

Galaxy’s Alex Thorn explains why the Bitcoin repayments will likely have a smaller impact on the Bitcoin price than feared. Plus, he gives a projection for inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs, and says a Solana ETF has a hard path to approval.


Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.

Ten and a half years after filing for bankruptcy, Mt. Gox is finally set to disburse 142,000 Bitcoin worth nearly $9 billion to creditors between July and October. 

Market concern has been growing over the potential impact on Bitcoin prices, but Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy, explains why only a small fraction of those bitcoins will be sold. He also discusses the implications of this redistribution on the market, the potential success of Ethereum ETFs, and the chances of a Solana ETF approval.


Show highlights:

  • 0:26 Why Alex estimates the amount of bitcoins that creditors sell will be a tiny fraction of the 142,000 to be repaid 
  • 11:35 What market shocks could arise from Mt. Gox creditors receiving billions in Bitcoin, and why he believes Bitcoin Cash is the real wild card
  • 16:18 Whether Ethereum ETFs could be as successful as Bitcoin ETFs in attracting investors
  • 21:35 Whether potential outflows from Grayscale's Ethereum Trust will dampen the excitement around Ethereum ETFs
  • 23:38 How the combination of Mt. Gox repayments, Ethereum ETFs, and German and American government Bitcoin sales might affect crypto prices
  • 26:03 The chances the SEC approves a spot Solana ETF
