A cryptocurrency wallet, believed to be owned by the U.S. government, has recently exhibited suspicious transactions totaling $20 million. According to data from the analytics platform Arkham, after eight months of inactivity, the wallet suddenly “woke up” on October 24 and executed a series of fund transfers.

Initially, the assets were moved to a new wallet, which then transferred them to an address identified by Arkham as a “Binance deposit wallet.” The specific amounts withdrawn include:

  • Nearly $500,000 in ETH
  • 2.5 million USDT
  • Over 19 million USDC

Currently, the wallet still holds $13.1 million. Arkham Intelligence is actively monitoring related transactions to clarify the nature of these movements.
