Vitalik Buterin, the mastermind behind Ethereum, has seen his wealth skyrocket to a staggering $800 million!
According to Arkham Intelligence, Buterin's net worth has surged from $552.86 million at the start of the year to over $800 million, thanks to his vast holdings of Ethereum (ETH) coins.
Buterin's journey in the crypto space began in 2011 with the founding of Bitcoin Magazine. He then went on to create the Ethereum whitepaper in 2013, addressing the limitations of Bitcoin.
Today, he holds approximately 246,730 ETH coins, making him the largest individual holder of Ethereum, second only to Rain Lohmus, who purchased 250,000 ETH during the pre-sale (although Lohmus unfortunately lost access to his wallet).
Buterin's wealth has grown an astonishing 900-fold since 2015, with him first becoming a billionaire in 2021 during the market surge, with an estimated fortune of $2.09 billion.
His wallet also contains a significant amount of other cryptocurrencies, including Kyber Network (KNC), Wrapped Ether (WETH), and THE.
