美國政府批准清算從 Silk Road 扣押的 69,000 比特幣 ($6.5B)

比特幣是從臭名昭著的名為「絲綢之路」的暗網市場中恢復的。它以多種非法活動而聞名，包括販毒和駭客服務。

A federal judge on December 30 approved the sale of about 69,370 Bitcoin, valued at an estimated $6.5 billion, that was seized by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) from the darknet’s notorious Silk Road marketplace. This concludes the lengthy court saga over claims regarding the true ownership of these cryptocurrencies.

12 月 30 日，一名聯邦法官批准出售美國司法部 (DOJ) 從暗網臭名昭著的絲綢之路市場查獲的約 69,370 枚比特幣，價值估計為 65 億美元。關於這些加密貨幣真正所有權的索賠的漫長法庭傳奇就此結束。

The Bitcoin was seized from the infamous dark web marketplace known as Silk Road, which was notorious for illicit activities such as drug trafficking and hacking services. The assets have been at the center of a highly publicized and litigated matter.

比特幣是從臭名昭著的絲路暗網市場中查獲的，該市場因販毒和駭客服務等非法活動而臭名昭著。這些資產一直是備受關注和訴訟的焦點。

Battle Born Investments attempted to claim an interest in the Bitcoin through a bankruptcy estate. However, they failed to halt the sale or uncover the identity of the initial individual who surrendered their Bitcoin.

Battle Born Investments 試圖透過破產財產索取比特幣的權益。然而，他們未能阻止銷售或揭露最初交出比特幣的個人的身分。

The DOJ expressed concerns over Bitcoin’s volatility as the main reason for pushing for a swift sale. They argued that any further delay in selling the assets could result in substantial losses due to market fluctuations. This legal victory follows the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision not to hear Battle Born’s appeal last October, paving the way for the sale.

美國司法部對比特幣波動性表示擔憂，這是推動比特幣迅速出售的主要原因。他們認為，進一步推遲出售資產可能會因市場波動而導致重大損失。繼去年 10 月美國最高法院決定不審理 Battle Born 的上訴之後，取得了這場法律勝利，為出售鋪平了道路。

The move to sell the Bitcoin had an immediate impact on the market. Following the announcement, Bitcoin dropped from around $95,000 to $93,800. It is currently trading at about $94,300, showing a slight dip of nearly 3% in the last 24 hours.

出售比特幣的舉動對市場產生了直接影響。消息公佈後，比特幣從 95,000 美元左右跌至 93,800 美元。目前交易價格約 94,300 美元，過去 24 小時小幅下跌近 3%。

President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador expressed optimism about this, stating, “Maybe we’ll all get the chance to buy Bitcoin at a discount.”

薩爾瓦多總統納伊布·布克萊對此表示樂觀，他表示：“也許我們都有機會以折扣價購買比特幣。”

Once the liquidation process begins, it will be one of the largest sales of crypto assets in history, overseen by the U.S. Marshals Service. The sale is likely to raise questions about its impact on the market, especially considering that Bitcoin’s value has surged significantly since Silk Road was shut down in 2013.

一旦清算過程開始，這將是歷史上最大的加密資產銷售之一，由美國法警局監管。這次出售可能會引發對其對市場影響的質疑，特別是考慮到自 2013 年 Silk Road 關閉以來比特幣的價值已大幅飆升。
