$ETH Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recently sold around $830,000 worth of ETH, and as expected, panic followed.
But context matters. A founder selling a small portion of holdings is not automatically a bearish signal. In many cases, such moves are linked to portfolio diversification, tax planning, donations, or operational expenses. Vitalik has a long history of being transparent with his transactions and has previously stated that he does not hold all his wealth in a single asset.
The real question isn’t why Vitalik sold,
the real question is — has anything changed in Ethereum’s fundamentals?
Network activity, developer participation, Layer-2 adoption, and ecosystem growth remain strong. None of these metrics suggest a structural breakdown.
