Vitalik Buterin transferred 800 ETH ($2.01M) to a multisig wallet again 40 minutes ago. The multisig wallet swapped 190 ETH for 477K USDC later.

In October 2023, Vitalik Buterin posted on the decentralized social platform Warpcast that he had not sold ETH for personal gain in over five years. Instead, he mentioned that he frequently uses his ETH holdings to support various communities and contribute to non-profit organizations.
For example, in February 2023, Buterin donated Ethereum to aid victims of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Turkey.
