Virtually all the tokens that government wallets hold come from police The sales process for these cryptocurrency is long and open, which means the entire market knows what will happen next. And the dumping of these tokens, again, breaks the delicate balance between supply and demandIn short, the sudden appearance of a cryptocurrency supply creates pressure for prices to fall. And, as traders know this will happen, they move to sell their holdings on the rise before the decline in valueHowever, this also generates downward pressure on prices. The result is a snowball of falls
