, worth $1 billion, were moved from multiple wallets connected to United States Government law enforcement seizures and transferred to new addresses, with some moved to Coinbase on March 8. 
According to data shared by on-chain analytics firm PeckShield, three transfers were made from U.S. law enforcement agency’s wallets. These wallets held nearly 51,000 BTC seized by U.S. agencies from the Silk Road marketplace in November 2021. The confiscated BTC was consolidated into two wallet addresses.
