šØ Here is the reality about did Vitalik Buterin really sold $8.2 Million worth of $ETH ?
Short answer:
š There is no confirmed on chain evidence of a single $8.2M $ETH dump today.
Recent rumors spread on social media claiming a large $8.2M sale, but verified blockchain data shows something different.
ā
What actually happened:
⢠Vitalik sold about 428.57 ETH recently
⢠Estimated value around $850,000, not $8.2M
⢠Received GHO stablecoins in exchange
⢠Part of ongoing gradual sales during February, not one massive dump
Since early February:
⢠Total ETH sold approx 7,386 ETH
⢠Rough value about $15.5 million across multiple smaller transactions
ā ļø Why rumors happen:
Crypto Twitter often reports aggregate numbers or misreads transactions. A series of smaller swaps can be misinterpreted as one large dump.
š Bottom line:
No confirmed $8.2M single sell event today.
Yes, Vitalik has been slowly selling portions of $ETH recently, but in controlled amounts.
