🚨 Breaking: German Govt Dumps Another 1300 Bitcoin To Coinbase, Kraken & Bitstamp 🚨
The German government has offloaded another 1,300 Bitcoin (BTC) to major crypto exchanges today. According to data from Arkham Intelligence, the total offloading consisted of nearly $76 million. Moreover, the Bitcoin price dropped below $58,000 minutes after this massive liquidation and raised concerns of a further dip.
In addition, the German government shifted a staggering 1,700 Bitcoin worth $98.76 million to an unknown wallet. This transaction also sparks speculations of an impending selloff as the government could use the new wallet for further BTC offloading. Earlier, a similar trend has been noted for the German government as it transferred Bitcoin to new addresses immediately after an exchange dump.
Moreover, this brings the total Bitcoin offloaded by the German government to nearly 10,000 BTC. As of now, the government holds 40,359 BTC worth $2.32 billion. The continuous liquidation of Bitcoin holdings by the German authorities highlights their ongoing efforts to manage and possibly reduce their exposure to the volatile crypto market. However, the actual motive behind these sell-offs isn’t clear yet.
Recent data from Arkham Intelligence indicates that the government transferred 832 BTC worth $50 million on July 2. Additionally, on the same day, another 361.877 BTC valued at $22.65 million was transferred to market maker Flow Traders. These significant movements reflect a strategic and systematic approach by the government in divesting its Bitcoin holdings.
