Mt. Gox hacker-linked wallet quietly offloads 2,300 Bitcoin

Key Takeaways

  • Bitcoin linked to Mt. Gox hacker Aleksey Bilyuchenko continues to move through unknown exchanges.
  • It remains uncertain who has control over the funds.

A wallet linked to Aleksey Bilyuchenko, accused by the US Department of Justice of hacking the Mt. Gox crypto exchange, quietly offloaded around 2,300 Bitcoin in over a month, according to Arkham Intelligence analyst Emmett Gallic.

In the past week, the entity behind the wallet deposited 110 Bitcoin worth approximately $114 million to unknown exchanges. They still hold 4,100 BTC, valued at $360 million.

The current controller of the funds is unknown. According to Gallic, Bilyuchenko, a former operator of the now-defunct BTC-e platform, was detained in Russia, and many of his assets were seized by Moscow courts, leaving open the possibility that another party may have executed recent transactions.

The use of unidentified exchanges and the measured pace of transfers suggest controlled, ongoing liquidation rather than a single, abrupt sale.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
