  2. Coinbase Agreement
  3. Awaiting Official Confirmation


    4. Cryptocurrency-focused lawyer Scott Johnson has suggested that the recent drop in Bitcoin prices may be connected to the actions of the US Marshals Service (USMS).

    US Marshals Service Bitcoin Sale

    Johnson explained that the US Marshals Service is almost certainly selling Silk Road Bitcoins based on their recent activities.

    Coinbase Agreement

    USMS transferred Bitcoin to a custody address under a service agreement with Coinbase in June. This agreement states that USMS assets must remain completely separate. However, Johnson noted that when these transfers are made to a mixed exchange address like CB Prime, it indicates that Bitcoin has either already been sold or is in the process of being sold.

    Awaiting Official Confirmation

    Johnson expects official confirmation of these transactions to appear in the Department of Justice's FY2024 Asset Expenditure Program report, scheduled for release in January. He also hinted that these sales may have intensified following a recent speech by former President Donald Trump, and noted that such actions were foreseeable based on the DOJ Office of Inspector General audit report, the USMS cryptocurrency services agreement RFP, and various court rulings.

    As the community awaits official confirmation, analysts and crypto enthusiasts are closely monitoring the situation and its potential impact on the Bitcoin market.
