Bitcoin Dump ขาเข้า? รัฐบาลสหรัฐฯ ย้าย BTC มูลค่า 1 พันล้านดอลลาร์

• The U.S. government moved a good chunk of its seized BTC to Coinbase.
• Market participants think a BTC dump is incoming.
• BTC is currently trading down 1.4% on the day.

The crypto markets have enjoyed a great start to the year, with most coins and tokens going up significantly since January.

However, the past few weeks have been increasingly challenging for digital assets. Cryptobank Silvergate is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, and the U.S. Federal Reserve has again turned hawkish and anticipates larger rate increases.

สำหรับ Bitcoin (BTC), there’s another threat in the short term. That threat is the U.S. government.

The Bitcoin community has been anxiously looking at the BTC chart since early Wednesday morning after reports indicated that the U.S. government has started moving their BTC holdings.

ตามที่ กลาสโนด, a blockchain intelligence and data platform, U.S. government-related wallets moved around 40,000 seized BTC, or about $1 billion, in the early morning of Wednesday.

More importantly, 9,861 of the total BTC seized from the Silk Road hacker have been sent to Coinbase, fueling speculation that BTC will soon experience a surprise dump.

If that were to happen, industry observers believe BTC could retest the $20,000 resistance zone, especially with the U.S. Federal Reserve turning hawkish on Tuesday and indicating further rate increases.

U.S. Fed Indicates Rate Increases

Last week, the news of Silvergate being ใกล้จะล้มละลาย shocked the crypto markets, which saw billions of dollars vanish in 30 minutes. Bitcoin dropped รอบ 5%, with ETH and other altcoins also dumping.

On top of that, the U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell indicated in his testimony on Tuesday that the Fed might need to introduce further rate increases to curb inflation. The current Federal Funds Rate is 4.57%, but market participants predict it will reach around 6% by the end of the year.

For risk assets like BTC, higher-than-expected rates in the U.S. and worldwide would mean significant sell pressure in the coming months.

BTC currently trades at around $22,000, down 1.4% on the day, according to ข้อมูล จาก CoinGecko
