U.S. Government Converts Crypto Assets to Ethereum Before Phaseout Deadline
The U.S. government has recently exchanged its holdings of ANT tokens for Ethereum as part of a scheduled phaseout of digital assets.
The government-controlled wallet, inactive for nearly two years, transferred about $974,000 worth of ANT in two transactions totaling $550,000 and $518,000 in ETH, according to Arkham Intelligence . This move occurs just ahead of AragonDAO’s planned token phaseout on November 2.
The transactions were initiated to convert seized ANT tokens into the more liquid Ethereum . The U.S. wallet, previously receiving smaller transfers unrelated to ANT liquidations, executed this conversion through AragonDAO’s redemption system.
AragonDAO, having recently rejected a proposal for a community-led organization due to concerns over potential takeover risks, is now in the process of winding down its ANT token ecosystem.
