On Friday, digital gold began to reverse, at least for now, and printed a nearly 5% increase, rising from $53,900 to the $56,550 level where it is changing hands at the time of this writing.

Mt Gox has started repaying Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash to the investors who suffered from its hack in 2014.

The Bitcoin held by the governments was mainly confiscated from illegal operations and money laundering. The US government also still holds Bitcoin seized during the shutdown of the Darknet marketplace Silk Road founded and ran by Ross Ulbricht more than ten years ago until it was shut down in 2013.
