The U.S. government Wednesday moved 10,000 Silk Road-related seized bitcoin (BTC) to Coinbase Prime
Deposits to an exchange usually signal intention to sell the assets, but in this case the transfer may have happened for custody reasons.
The U.S. Marshals Service, a division of the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a partnership last month with Coinbase Prime to "safeguard and trade" large-cap digital assets. There's little insight into what exactly happens with the tokens after landing on a centralized platform.
The DOJ announced in 2022 that it seized over 50,000 BTC and arrested James Zhong, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud after the government alleged he manipulated the transaction system of dark web market Silk Road in 2012.
