It has been alleged that the United States Marshals Service (USMS) can sell the bitcoins seized from the online drug exchange Silk Road.
The number of units is said to be 10 million, which is equivalent to 442 billion yen at the current market price. US Attorney Scott Johnson said that the USMS had signed a service agreement with Coinbase, the largest virtual asset exchange in the United States.
On the 15th, according to on-chain data analysis company Arcam Intelligence, the US government actually announced that it would put CoinBell on the market on the same day.
In relation to this, he said, "USMS assets must remain completely separate, so I will not use Coinbase Platform."
Once the assets are finally transferred to Lime or another exchange, it could be seen as either having already sold them or a sale pending."
The United States, known as the country with the largest Bitcoin holdings, has raised the possibility of selling a large amount of Bitcoin.
This seems to have caused a sense of unease in the market. Normally, in the cryptocurrency market, when a wallet holding such a large amount of Bitcoin transfers the cryptocurrency to an exchange, the possibility of a selloff is raised.
This could have a shocking effect on the market.
