Germany’s bitcoin sales and Mt. Gox’s reimbursements have recently shaken up the crypto market, and the drama may not be over yet. The eurozone’s biggest economy still holds 39,826 BTC worth $2.2 billion, according to data tracked by Arkham Intelligence. The stash, a potential source of selling pressure, represents nearly 9% of BTC’s 24-hour trading volume of $25.3 billion, suggesting further price turbulence. Early this year, the German Federal Criminal Police Office seized 49,857 BTC from the operators of Movie2k.to, a privacy website that was last active in 2013. Since mid-June, the government has liquidated over 10,000 BTC, putting downward pressure on the cryptocurrency’s going market rate.
