Recently, rumors about the US government potentially selling Bitcoin have been buzzing, and finally an official explanation has been provided. Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Digital Asset Advisory Council, responded publicly last weekend that the US Department of Justice has confirmed that the Bitcoins seized from privacy wallet developer Samourai Wallet have not been sold, nor will they be sold in the future. What will happen to these assets specifically? According to Executive Order No. 14233, these Bitcoins will directly enter the US government's balance sheet and officially become part of the "National Strategic Bitcoin Reserve." In other words, this indicates a long-term holding attitude. Why the sudden clarification? It actually stems from a recent on-chain anomaly. In early January, blockchain analysts observed approximately 57.55 Bitcoins transferred from a government-controlled address to a Coinbase Prime deposit address. This transaction once caused market tension, with many speculating whether the government was planning a large-scale sell-off. At that time, the address balance was zero, and market panic could not be contained. However, based on this official clarification, that transfer was likely just a routine asset reorganization or custody operation, not an indication of an actual sell-off.

#美国民主党BlueVault U.S. crypto regulation faces new uncertainties. The Senate Judiciary Committee recently considered removing the "Developer Protection" section from the "Crypto Market Structure Act," which caught the market by surprise. The situation is a bit complicated. Key figures from the Judiciary Committee, Gressley and Debin, jointly issued statements saying that the current provisions might "weaken enforcement." They feel they lacked sufficient influence in previous discussions and now want to strengthen regulatory authority by deleting the clause. This directly conflicts with the priorities of the Banking and Agriculture Committees, which are leading the legislation. Their goal is to establish a comprehensive crypto regulatory framework that balances innovation and regulation. The Judiciary Committee, on the other hand, is more concerned that the developer protection clause could create regulatory loopholes and wants to enhance legal accountability. This inter-committee struggle reflects the complexity of U.S. crypto policy-making. The market is watching closely to see where the balance between developer protection and enforcement strength will be struck and how the process will proceed. $BTC $ETH $SOL is currently in this state of policy uncertainty.

Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline in early trading today. There are three main reasons. The first and most critical is that the three major US stock index futures opened collectively lower, which is the core driving force of the current market trend. The second is the policy factor related to Trump, as he is preparing to increase tariffs on Europe, which can easily trigger a decline in market risk appetite. The third is the Federal Reserve's subsequent expectations, with the probability of maintaining interest rates in January rising to around 95%, but we will have to wait for the official decision at the end of the month. The first factor has the most direct impact, while the effects of the other two may still be brewing. From a technical perspective, Bitcoin briefly dipped to the 91800 support level on the 4-hour chart today. Currently, the market rhythm has clearly returned to a low-range oscillation pattern. From a trading standpoint, this position in the early trading session can be temporarily observed, using the stability of the support level as a reference. If it holds steady here, there may be an opportunity to consider going long.
