Government Transfers Seized Shiba Inu
The transfer left the sending wallet, previously linked to the US government, with no SHIB tokens. The receiving wallet, identified as ‘0x995,’ now holds digital assets valued at $33 million.
The US government obtained the SHIB tokens through the seizure of assets from Alameda Research, a trading firm tied to the collapsed crypto exchange FTX. The SHIB tokens were part of a broader forfeiture of over $700 million in assets related to legal issues surrounding FTX and Alameda.

Within two hours, the wallet also accepted other digital assets, including 4,815 ETH, 13.58 million BUSD, and 631,959 POWR tokens.
