Shocking! After ten years of silence, the Bitcoin wallets associated with the notorious dark web marketplace "Silk Road" suddenly moved on Tuesday!
On-chain monitoring platform Arkham detected that these zombie addresses transferred approximately $3.14 million worth of BTC. Ten years ago, we all heard the stories about these coins—the underground trading empire taken down by the FBI. Now, they seem to have crawled out of the grave and re-enter circulation.
Who is behind this operation? Currently, there are only two plausible explanations:
Either the mysterious holders from back then finally retrieved their long-forgotten private keys; Or law enforcement agencies are clearing seized assets.
But regardless of which, it’s not good news for the current market. The owners of these "antique" bitcoins are probably not diamond hand believers. Their goal is simply to convert these old coins into real money.
Another wave of potential selling pressure has been awakened. The market needs to proceed with caution.

Oh wow, a ten-year-old coin suddenly awakens. Are we about to see a dump...
Whether to sell or not depends on who’s holding it. If it’s really law enforcement dumping, we need to be mentally prepared.
That batch from the Silk Road, just thinking about it gives me chills. But on the other hand, the institutions have already been eyeing this area, so this wave might not be as exaggerated.
This is the charm of the blockchain—nothing can be hidden, and the truth can be a bit brutal.

Oh my god, the ghost coin of the Silk Road is out again? $3.14 million, how long does it take to dump that?
Wow, after ten years of dormancy, it suddenly wakes up. This must scare retail investors to death.
Here comes the selling pressure again. My small position is really too fragile.
Private key lost and recovered? Or law enforcement is dumping? Anyway, us retail investors are definitely going to lose out.
Once this batch of ancient BTC hits the market, the crypto world will be bloodshed again. Better to withdraw early, brothers.
This is truly incredible. The historical ghost always appears at the most inopportune times.
Coins from ten years ago are being dumped, and we small retail investors will be wiped out ten years from now.
