\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEthereum’s co-founder has been disposing of large amounts of ETH for several weeks now. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
On-chain data from Arkham Intelligence and Lookonchain showed that Vitalik Buterin has resumed his selling spree of ETH with another multi-million dollar transfer.<\/p>\n
The analysts explained that he had withdrawn another batch of 3,500 ETH (worth roughly $7 million at the time) from Aave with the likely intention to sell. At the time of the original post a few hours ago, he had already disposed of 571 ETH ($1.13 million).<\/p>\n

CryptoPotato<\/em> has reported a few similar instances in February alone, in which on-chain data indicated that he had begun disposing of some of his ETH fortune. A February 5 report showed<\/a> that the project\u2019s co-founder had sold off 2,961 ETH ($6.6 million at the time) in just three days.<\/p>\n
A day later, Lookonchain informed<\/a> that the total sales had grown to 6,183 ETH, which was valued at $13.2 million. The average exit price was $2,140.<\/p>\n
Arkham Intelligence keeps a close eye on Buterin\u2019s addresses, and a report from earlier this week noted<\/a> that he still held more than 240,000 ETH, valued at around $467 million. However, that data was before today\u2019s sell-offs.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, ETH\u2019s price has been on a consistent downtrend for months. After it peaked at close to $5,000 in late August last year, it was violently rejected and ended 2025 at around $3,000. The late January\/early February crash was brutal, pushing the asset to under $1,800.<\/p>\n

Although it has recovered some ground since then, Ether still struggles below $2,000. Popular analyst Ali Martinez outlined<\/a> the formation of a bullish flag yesterday for ETH, but with a major catch: the chart was inverted, showing in reality that ETH could be primed for another correction to under $1,400.<\/p>\n
