ChainCatcher news, according to Trader T's post on X, regarding the matter of 'the U.S. government has been authorized to liquidate 69,370 BTC seized from the dark web Silk Road,' it may take several months from authorization to actual sale.

Additionally, according to Spot On Chain, the U.S. government currently holds approximately 197,000 BTC, and since previous sales were completed through over-the-counter transactions, they did not directly affect the price, but the resulting market panic may have caused a temporary price drop.
