The US authorities have approved the sale of 69,370 Bitcoin seized from Silk Road. This news raises concerns among traders about potential market volatility.

Plans for Selling Seized Bitcoin

After months of legal proceedings, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) received approval to sell 69,370 BTC, confiscated during operations against the illegal Silk Road platform. This sale is estimated to be worth approximately $6.5 billion.

Market Reactions and Traders

Traders are closely monitoring the government's plans to sell seized Bitcoins, fearing potential market volatility. Previous sales did not have direct impacts on Bitcoin prices, as they were conducted over-the-counter, but they did cause temporary market panic.

Economic Implications

Economist Peter Schiff suggested that selling the seized BTC could help reduce the US budget deficit. The government currently holds approximately 197,000 BTC, valued at $18.6 billion.

The US government's sale of seized Bitcoin presents a significant event for the crypto market that traders and analysts will closely watch for potential volatility and economic effects.
