<p>The crypto community has come a long way since its creation. Since then we say how tepidly the technology was adopted. When it was still in its early stages many unsavory actors siphoned funds for their own pleasure. Now with jurisdiction, many governments are aware of how to handle such situations.</p>
<p>To showcase the work of these governments, the US government displays a great win for them today. In detail, the US Government has just transferred 58.742 BTC worth $3.96 million to Coinbase Prime Deposit at 1:59 UTC+8 today.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To highlight, part of these transferred funds come from seized BTC taken from the dark web drug dealer Ryan Farace. In particular, the <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/address/3B2jEBZi8fJWGEDrh6Pe7hDMaJ6iGfFtaU" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">US Department of Justice</a> confiscated 2,933 BTC from the Farace family. So far, the US Government still holds a total of 213, 239,000 BTC which amounts up to about $14,397,000,000.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/grayscales-new-eth-etf-move-is-ethereum-eth-stakings-exclusion-a-sign-of-regulatory-trends/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase Prime</a> is having a good day seeing funds pour in via Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). While 58.742 BTC has come directly from the US Government’s seized BTC funds from Ryan Farace, ETH funds have flown in from another trusted source.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Specifically, the financial institution, Grayscale, has just sent $1.01 billion worth of ETH to Coinbase Prime from the <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/address/0x27d1ec44964fB7554844090b02c7C81aa01F20E6" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Grayscale Ethereum Trust</a>.

<p>Ultimately, with the <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/grayscales-new-eth-etf-move-is-ethereum-eth-stakings-exclusion-a-sign-of-regulatory-trends/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH ETF launch</a> upon the crypto market, it seems that Grayscale is just getting started. While most analysts expect ETH price to shoot up following the ETH ETF launch, some expect a dip in ETH price before the bullish wave.&nbsp;</p>
