The latest transfer signals Mt. Gox’s preparations for substantial customer repayments. Following Kraken, Bitstamp could be next in line to get Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash from Mt. Gox’s trustee.

Last week, Kraken confirmed it had received Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash from Mt. Gox and that funds would be sent within 7 to 14 days to customers.

Mt. Gox’s trustee initiated the repayment process earlier this month. Crypto exchanges like Kraken, Bitstamp, and Bitbank are set to distribute the funds to their clients within 90 days of receipt.

At the time of reporting, Mt. Gox’s wallet still holds $6.09 billion worth of Bitcoin, Arkham’s data shows.
