Two wallets tagged as belonging to the U.S. government and linked to the Silk Road seizure of crypto have moved over $300 million worth of bitcoin (BTC) in three separate transactions on Wednesday morning, on-chain data shows.
The price of bitcoin fell by 0.8% to $30,480 after the transaction was sent; it has since recovered to $30,660 as of press time.
Bitcoin’s block explorer shows that the government-controlled wallets sent a total of 9,825 bitcoin ($301 million).
