The U.S. Marshals Service has moved 8.2 Bitcoin worth about $606K to Coinbase Prime. The funds are tied to the 2016 Bitfinex hack and the conviction of Ilya Lichtenstein. Authorities have used Coinbase for custody since 2024, and blockchain data confirmed the government wallets involved. There is no confirmation of a sale, and officials still hold more than 200K Bitcoin. The market viewed the transfer as routine management, with Bitcoin steady near $75000.
