01 THE MACHINE READ
WHY IT MATTERS.
Moving seized coins to unlabeled wallets raises the possibility of eventual liquidation, adding a supply overhang to sentiment already watching government-held BTC.
Seized-coin moves keep liquidation risk in focus
CATALYST TO WATCH
Any transfer to an exchange wallet
MAIN RISK
Actual sale could hit BTC price
FULL DISPATCH
Arkham data shows the 12,267 BTC went to unlabeled wallets rather than an exchange, a day after $383 million hit Coinbase Prime.
