Vitalik Buterin Transferred $12 Billion Between Wallets
According to LookOnChain’s analysis, the whale address that received 9,300 ETH and ended with 0x9e92 in the last 20 days has collected ETH from a wallet thought to belong to Buterin. The address used to send funds ends in “0xd04d” and most likely belongs to Buterin as he only receives funds from Vb3 wallet.
After receiving the funds, the whale has a total of 170,913 ETH worth approximately $260 million. Practically speaking, this makes it one of the largest cryptocurrency holders in the market. The history of the transaction shows no activity that would lead it to be thought that the whale was actually tied to a particular exchange or functioning as an OTC (non-exchange) desk.

Transactions by Buterin often led to an increase in Ethereum’s market volatility. Because both institutional and retail investors often follow the accounts of crypto influencers, projects and developers.
