The US Department of Justice has received approval to liquidate 69,370 BTC seized in the Silk Road case, causing concern in the crypto market.

DOJ's Plans

The US Department of Justice plans to sell 69,370 bitcoins that were seized in connection to the Silk Road case. This news has stirred unease among market participants, but experts emphasize that the sale is likely to be conducted to minimize market impact.

James Van Straten's Analysis

Market analyst James Van Straten argues that fears of a dramatic impact on Bitcoin's price may be overblown. He noted that any sale is likely to be gradual to reduce market shocks.

Historical Parallels

Van Straten also highlighted the market's ability to absorb large amounts of Bitcoin. A similar situation occurred in 2023 when the German government sold around 50,000 BTC. Even after the sale, 25,000 BTC were retained.

Despite the DOJ's plans to sell BTC, analysts believe the market will adapt and react with minimal long-term effects.
