    4. The US government transferred 10,000 Bitcoin, worth over $593 million, to a Coinbase Prime deposit wallet.

    US Government Bitcoin Transfer

    According to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, the Bitcoin was sent to Coinbase Prime. Despite initial concerns, analysts believe that the sale of these Bitcoins is unlikely.

    Purpose of the Coinbase Transfer

    Last month, the US Department of Justice partnered with Coinbase Prime to safeguard and trade large digital assets. Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research, believes that the Bitcoin was likely transferred for safekeeping rather than active trading.

    Sources of the Bitcoin

    The Bitcoin was seized during the Silk Road raid in 2022, when the Department of Justice announced the seizure of 50,000 BTC. Silk Road, operating on the dark net, offered the sale of illicit goods. Its creator, Ross Ulbricht, was arrested in 2013 and is serving two life sentences without parole.

    The US government's transfer of a large amount of Bitcoin to Coinbase suggests an interest in secure storage rather than quick sales, contributing to market stability.
