Golden Finance reported that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded to Twitter users' suggestions to stop selling ETH on social media, saying, "Yesterday's ETH sell-off was initiated by a biodefense organization I funded and was triggered by an automatic CoWSwapTWAP order set as early as August 29. This is the last order." The time-weighted average price (TWAP) order launched by DEX aggregator CoW Swap allows traders to spread transactions over a specified time period to smooth market price fluctuations in order to obtain a position at an average market price.
