The German government sold bitcoins for $54 million
Two transactions made by the German government of 200 BTC each were sent to Coinbase and Kraken exchanges, while 500 BTC was transferred to a mysterious "139Po" wallet. The current price of bitcoin is $61,129, and the growth in trading volume is 32.45 percent. This pressure may cause the price of bitcoin to fall below $60,000.
Recent moves by the German government have further destabilized the bitcoin market. The sale of more than 900 BTC, worth over $54 million, has sparked fears among investors. Two transactions of 200 BTC each were sent to the exchanges Coinbase and Kraken, while 500 BTC was transferred to the mysterious "139Po" wallet. Analysts warn that this pressure could lead to a drop in the price of Bitcoin below $60,000, while other cryptocurrencies remain stable for now.
The move comes at a time when Bitcoin is already under pressure due to news related to Mt. Gox. The German government wallet, which holds over $2.8 billion worth of BTC, could trigger significant selling pressure, which could push the price of bitcoin below the key psychological level of $60,000. The first hint of a potential sale of Bitcoin by the German government appeared on June 19, when a transfer of 6,500 BTC worth over $425 million was made. Most of the Bitcoins have been transferred to centralized exchanges, indicating the possibility of selling.
