美國政府拋售比特幣？

8 月 14 日星期三，美國政府隨後從臭名昭著的絲綢之路轉移比特幣，引發了大量投機活動。

Finance attorney Scott Johnsson claims that the US Marshals Service (USMS) is likely selling Bitcoin from the defunct Silk Road marketplace.

財務律師 Scott Johnsson 聲稱，美國法警局 (USMS) 可能正在從已不復存在的絲綢之路市場出售比特幣。

The claims are based on a servicing agreement that the USMS entered into with Coinbase in June, which Johnsson says would explain the transfer of Bitcoin to Coinbase Prime. If true, the sales could have a major impact on the cryptocurrency market, as the USMS may have either sold or is preparing to sell these assets once the Bitcoin reaches Coinbase Prime.

這些說法是基於 USMS 在 6 月與 Coinbase 簽訂的服務協議，Johnsson 表示該協議將解釋比特幣向 Coinbase Prime 的轉移。如果屬實，此次出售可能會對加密貨幣市場產生重大影響，因為一旦比特幣到達 Coinbase Prime，USMS 可能已經出售或正準備出售這些資產。

US Government Selling Bitcoin Again?

美國政府再次拋售比特幣？

On Wednesday, August 14, another transfer of Bitcoin by the US government from the Infamous Silk Road has sparked speculation.

8 月 14 日星期三，美國政府再次從臭名昭著的絲綢之路轉移比特幣引發了猜測。

According to analysis from blockchain analytics firm Arkham, on Wednesday, Coinbase Prime, a platform primarily used by institutional investors, received 10,000 Silk Road Bitcoins, currently valued at approximately $593.5 million.

根據區塊鏈分析公司 Arkham 的分析，週三，主要由機構投資者使用的平台 Coinbase Prime 收到了 10,000 個絲路比特幣，目前價值約 5.935 億美元。

This transaction follows the announcement by the US Marshals Service (USMS), a branch of the Department of Justice, in June that it had chosen Coinbase Prime to provide custody and advanced trading capabilities for the Class 1 (large cap) digital assets of the agency.

在此交易之前，美國司法部下屬法警局 (USMS) 在 6 月宣布選擇 Coinbase Prime 為該機構的 1 類（大盤）數位資產提供託管和先進的交易功能。

The community is torn on whether these actions indicate a sale of the Bitcoin or simply a transfer for custody, with many speculating that the government is not selling.

社群對於這些行為是否意味著出售比特幣或只是為了託管而存在分歧，許多人猜測政府並沒有出售比特幣。

“Coinbase Prime now has 10,000 Silk Road BTC (worth $593,5M). Two weeks ago, the well-known US government wallet sent 10K BTC to wallet bc1ql. This Bitcoin was recently sent to Coinbase Prime deposit wallet 33J.”

「Coinbase Prime 現在擁有 10,000 個 Silk Road BTC（價值 5.935 億美元）。兩週前，著名的美國政府錢包向錢包bc1ql發送了10K BTC。該比特幣最近被發送到 Coinbase Prime 存款錢包 33J。

However, managing partner at Van Buren Capital and finance attorney Scott Johnsson offered an alternative perspective on Monday, asserting that the deal represents the final sale of the confiscated assets by the US government.

然而，範布倫資本 (Van Buren Capital) 的執行合夥人和財務律師斯科特·約翰森 (Scott Johnsson) 週一提出了另一種觀點，聲稱該交易代表美國政府對被沒收資產的最終出售。

“Yes, US Marshal Service (USMS) is almost certainly selling Silk Road Bitcoin […]

「是的，美國元帥局 (USMS) 幾乎肯定正在出售絲綢之路比特幣 [...]

USMS has been sending BTC to a custodial address required by the terms of the servicing agreement […]

USMS 已將 BTC 傳送至服務協議條款要求的託管位址 [...]

Given the agreement requires USMS assets remain completely segregated, whenever a transfer is ultimately made to CB prime (or other commingled exchange address), you can be sure USMS has already sold or is selling imminently.”

鑑於協議要求 USMS 資產保持完全隔離，無論何時最終轉移到 CB prime（或其他混合交易地址），您都可以確定 USMS 已經出售或即將出售。

According to Johnsson, the transfer of Bitcoin by the USMS to a custodial address is mandated by this agreement.

約翰遜表示，該協議強制要求 USMS 將比特幣轉移到託管地址。

The transfer of these funds to a commingled exchange account, such as Coinbase Prime, is a key indication of an impending or finalized transaction, as highlighted by Johnsson. This pattern of transfers suggests that the USMS is actively selling its Bitcoin holdings.

正如約翰遜所強調的那樣，將這些資金轉移到混合交易帳戶（例如 Coinbase Prime）是即將發生或最終完成的交易的關鍵指標。這種轉移模式表明 USMS 正在積極出售其持有的比特幣。

“Not necessarily CB alone (there’s an interim segregated custody step), but once they hit commingled addresses it’s reasonable to infer they’re sold. And yea, there was a backlog of forfeited BTC that was supposed to be sold already. Finalizing the services agreement appears to…”

「不一定是 CB（有一個臨時隔離託管步驟），但一旦它們到達混合地址，就可以合理地推斷它們已被出售。是的，有大量被沒收的比特幣積壓，本來就已經出售。敲定服務協議似乎…”

Interestingly, Johnsson adds that this selling activity has increased following a recent speech by former President Trump, which could indicate a political angle to the timing of these sales.

有趣的是，約翰遜補充說，在前總統川普最近發表演說後，這種銷售活動有所增加，這可能表明這些銷售時機的政治角度。

He points to several court orders and an audit report by the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General that may have set the stage for this action.

他指出，幾項法院命令和司法部監察長辦公室的審計報告可能為這項行動奠定了基礎。
