Bitcoin Sales by Governments Don’t Have Much Impact, According to Crypto Analyst

Recent declines in the crypto market have sparked discussions among traders about the impact of government sell-offs on the price of Bitcoin.
On July 5, popular online analyst Ki Yong Ju, founder and CEO of CryptoQuant, addressed these concerns by suggesting that the impact of government sell-offs of Bitcoin on the market is overblown.
In a post on X, he urged traders to avoid being influenced by the “FUD” (fear, uncertainty, doubt) surrounding government sell-offs of BTC.
He stressed that while recent actions by Germany and the UK have attracted attention, the scale of these transactions is minimal compared to overall market activity.
Ki stressed that since the start of the last bull market in 2023, nearly $250 billion has flowed into Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. In contrast, the total amount of Bitcoin potentially available for sale from government seizures, such as Germany, stands at less than $10 billion:
“Government sales of Bitcoin are overvalued,” he said
Ki’s analysis offers a calm outlook amid recent market fluctuations that have been influenced by both government sell-offs and transfers from portfolios linked to the now-defunct Mt. Gox exchange.
Despite a noticeable increase in fear among traders, as evidenced by the fear and greed index approaching “extreme fear,” Key argues that this anxiety is misplaced.
“It [represents] only 4% of the total cumulative value realized since 2023,” he explained.
Govt #Bitcoin selling is overestimated.
$224B has flowed into this market since 2023. Government-seized BTC contributes about $9B to the realized cap.

Overall, Ki Yong Ju’s comments suggest that while government actions are a factor, they should not lead to impulsive trading decisions.
