Bitcoin experienced a sharp drop to $93,000 following a US court's approval for the sale of over 69,000 Bitcoin seized from Silk Road.

Court Decision on Sale

A US court allowed the Department of Justice to sell 69,370 Bitcoins seized from Silk Road. A department spokesperson confirmed the decision to act quickly due to Bitcoin's volatility.

Market Reaction

Following the sales permission, Bitcoin's price fell to $93,000, sparking questions about a potential further decline below $90,000. Altcoins also faced declines, falling up to 5%.

Market Consequences

This decline resulted in $509 million in liquidations over the last 24 hours, with $364 million from long positions and $143 million from short positions. The largest loss on OKX was $15 million in the BTC/USDT pair.

The sale of seized Bitcoin is causing significant market reactions, showcasing volatility and potential implications for the cryptocurrency's future value.
