Despite the gains, broader crypto markets remained rangebound, with limited positive catalysts. Last week, prices were shaken by concerns over potential U.S. regulatory actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin rose 1.7% to $63,913 by 01:32 ET (05:32 GMT). Trading volumes were muted on Monday due to a holiday in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mt Gox Postpones Repayment Deadline<\/strong><br>Last week, Mt Gox trustees announced that they would distribute the remaining assets\u2014stolen during a 2014 hack\u2014by October 31, 2025. The exchange had begun returning nearly $9 billion worth of stolen tokens, primarily Bitcoin, to creditors in July. However, recent data showed that $2.8 billion worth of tokens were still held by the trustees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, fears over the distribution had triggered significant losses in Bitcoin due to concerns about a massive increase in supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bitcoin Remains Rangebound<\/strong><br>Despite some recent gains, Bitcoin remained confined to a trading range seen throughout much of the year, between $50,000 and $65,000. The token struggled to surpass $65,000 due to a lack of positive market drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices were also pressured by concerns over potential regulatory action, after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued a crypto market maker last week for operating as an unregistered dealer. Meanwhile, a crypto exchange filed a lawsuit against the SEC, accusing the regulator of overstepping its authority in regulating a futures contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SEC has ongoing cases against major crypto exchanges over the classification of cryptocurrencies, specifically whether they should be considered securities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crypto assets have underperformed compared to stock markets in recent sessions, with the prospect of a slower reduction in U.S. interest rates adding to market caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Altcoins Track Bitcoin&#8217;s Gains<\/strong><br>In the broader crypto market, most altcoins mirrored Bitcoin\u2019s performance. Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, rose 2.7% to $2,529.79. SOL and XRP gained 3.6% and 0.2%, respectively, while ADA and MATIC posted slight declines. Among meme tokens, DOGE saw a minor dip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin&#8217;s price climbed on Monday, continuing a weekend rebound after the defunct crypto exchange Mt Gox delayed its asset repayment to creditors by a year, alleviating concerns about a near-term sell-off.
