Reported by The Block: The U.S. and German governments both made a large amount of crypto transactions today following similar moves last week.
The transactions in recent weeks have been widely interpreted as signals that the governments intend to sell their crypto assets.
The German and U.S. governments appear to have moved additional bitcoin and ether today, further signaling their potential intention to sell the assets, according to data from blockchain analytics Arkham.
The German government moved a total of 1,500 bitcoin ($94 million) to a few addresses, including those at Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp, according to data from Arkham. The data showed that the German authorities sent 600 BTC and 500 BTC to an unknown address in two transactions, while moving 200 BTC to an address at Bitstamp, 100 BTC to a Coinbase address and 100 BTC to a Kraken address.
Wallets labeled as belonging to the U.S. government also sent 3,375 ether, or about $11.75 million, to an unknown address today from an address holding assets seized from Estonian entrepreneurs Sergei Potapenko and Ivan Turõgin, Arkham data showed.
The latest crypto transactions made by the U.S. and German authorities came after both governments made similar moves last week.
Currently, the wallets thought to be associated with the U.S. government hold about 213,534 bitcoin, worth $13.42 billion, and possess about 50,524 ether, worth approximately $175.9 million, among other crypto assets, according to Arkham.
The German government currently holds 44,692 bitcoin, worth about $2.81 billion, the data showed.
The two countries are among the largest known state holders of bitcoin. The U.S. currently tops the chart, followed by China, the UK, Germany and Ukraine, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.
