📍 A Silk Road-related wallet cluster becomes active again after more than 10 years



📌 On-chain data shows that 312 BTC wallets labeled Silk Road all became active again a few hours ago, transferring about $3.14M #Bitcoin sau hơn một thập kỷ gần như không nhúc nhích. Phần lớn còn lại ($41M #BTC) still remain on the wallets.

📌 There is no evidence to predict who is controlling these wallets. These are not wallets seized by the US government, they do not match the US Marshals' previously published wallet clusters, and there is no evidence related to Ross Ulbricht or the old Silk Road team.

📌 The Silk Road-linked label only reflects transaction history from 2010–2013, as these wallets have had transactions with Silk Road wallets.

📌 The money movement behavior resembles a consolidation + security upgrade, merging multiple old addresses into a new bech32 wallet. It seems the owner is updating security measures to prevent risks from quantum technology or to standardize security, rather than preparing to sell.

📌 In May, a similar series of wallets also transferred more than 3,400 BTC (~$300M) but did not deposit any into exchanges. The amount stored in these wallets is also not too large, so it does not create psychological pressure on the market.
