[Vitalik Buterin sold $341,000 in meme coins and donated them to TornadoCash developers]
Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, has once again been in the spotlight recently for selling meme coins. According to a report by Spotonchain, he sold $341,000 worth of meme coins in 30 minutes and donated funds to support TornadoCash developers. Buterin sold a variety of meme coins, including MOODENG, DEGEN, NEIRO, and KABOSU, as well as USDT, and earned 140.67 ETH (approximately $242,000). This massive sell-off has caused market concern and investor concern, but it is not the first time he has sold meme coins. He also previously sold low market cap Neiro tokens, causing the price to drop 60%.
In addition, Buterin donated 100 ETH (approximately $242,000) to support the “Free Alexey & Roman” campaign, which aims to help Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm, the founders of TornadoCash, who are facing challenges due to legal issues. This shows Buterin’s strong support for cryptocurrency privacy issues.
