US Government Moves $1 Billion in Bitcoin Seized From Bitfinex Hacker

The U.S. government moved roughly $1 billion in Bitcoin seized from Bitfinex hacker Ilya Lichtenstein, according to on-chain tracking. The transfer signals asset movement, not necessarily a sale; the coins remain under government control unless authorities announce otherwise. Any eventual liquidation could add selling pressure, but the transfer alone does not establish that a sale is imminent.
