The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) recently received court approval to sell around 69,370 Bitcoin, valued at $6.5 billion, seized from the infamous Silk Road marketplace. This marks one of the largest cryptocurrency liquidations in history, with the U.S. Marshals Service set to oversee the sale.
While the DOJ argues this move is necessary due to Bitcoin's volatility, some experts worry about its impact on market stability. Bitcoin’s price has already shown slight dips following the news. This decision highlights the challenges governments face in managing seized digital assets without disrupting the market.
