The U.S. federal government has moved more than $100 million in cryptocurrencies from secure wallets to exchange-linked addresses, including $71.6 million in Bitcoin and $31.63 million in BNB. The Bitcoin transferred appears to be forfeited assets seized in the Bitfinex hack case, while the BNB came from assets seized from bankrupt Alameda Research. The government still holds $27.5 billion in crypto seized through law enforcement actions, but it has not confirmed whether the transferred tokens will be sold.
