Vitalik Buterin sells $7.3M in ETH as Ethereum price slips
On-chain analytics show the Ethereum co-founder moved thousands of ETH over several days; trackers report differing totals.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin sold roughly 3,788.57 ETH — about $7.3 million — over the past three days, according to on-chain analytics highlighted by Arkham Intelligence and reported by multiple outlets [1][3][4].
Other trackers report different tallies: Blockonomi says Buterin swapped more than 3,100 ETH for stablecoins via CoW Swap (approximately $6.1 million) and places his on-chain holdings near 224,000 ETH, while a separate report summarizes February sales at over 9,715 ETH (roughly $21 million) across the month [5][2].
The transactions occurred amid a pullback in Ethereum’s price — outlets note the token slipped below $1,900 — and reporting confines itself to on-chain data without ascribing motive or citing an official statement from Buterin [1][5].
On-chain analytics confirm recent wallet activity linked to Vitalik Buterin, but totals vary by tracker and reporting period; coverage to date relies on public blockchain data rather than an official comment from Buterin [1][3][5].
