Over the past three days, Vitalik Buterin sold roughly 2,961.5 ETH, worth about $6.6 million, at an average price of $2,228 per coin, with selling still ongoing. On-chain data from his Gnosis Safe wallet shows repeated WETH outflows via CoW Protocol into tokens like USDC and GHO. The sales are a small portion of his 300,000+ ETH holdings, sparking mixed reactions: critics call it retail exit liquidity, while supporters note his history of funding Ethereum projects, biotech ventures like Kanro, and open-source initiatives. Ethereum traded near $2,150, down 5% in 24 hours, amid daily volumes exceeding $10 billion and continued institutional buying.
