US government deposits $288M in Bitcoin and Ether to Coinbase Prime

  • The US government has deposited $288 million in seized Bitcoin and Ether into Coinbase Prime, stemming from drug trafficking and money laundering cases.
  • This move signifies a shift towards using regulated institutional platforms like Coinbase Prime for managing forfeited digital assets, moving away from bulk auctions.
  • The deposits are being closely monitored for potential market impact, as Coinbase Prime facilitates Over-The-Counter (OTC) sales designed to minimize disruption to public markets.
