The U.S. Government transferred approximately $1.5 billion in seized cryptocurrency, mainly Bitcoin, across two transfers on October 7 and 8, 2026, according to blockchain analytics firm Arkham. The first transfer involved wallets associated with the Bitfinex hacker and Alameda Research sending $470 million in Bitcoin, wrapped Bitcoin, and USDT to addresses likely linked to Coinbase Prime. The second transfer, originating from a government wallet linked to the Bitfinex hacker seizure, moved 12,267 BTC.
