The US government recently took a significant step concerning seized digital assets related to the Silk Road lawsuit.
Data provided by Arkham Intelligence indicates that 10,000 BTC, worth around $600 million, have been transferred to Coinbase Prime, the institutional arm of the popular cryptocurrency exchange.

These BTC originated from a wallet identified as “U.S. Government: Silk Road DOJ Confiscated Funds” suggesting a connection to the DOJ’s earlier seizure of assets from the dark web market.
While large transfers to exchanges often imply an impending sale, it has been suggested that this move may be related to trusteeship rather than liquidation. This theory is supported by the U.S. Marshals Service’s recent partnership with Coinbase Prime to process and trade digital assets.
