 <p>After the transfer, 933.79 ETH were left in Buterin’s wallet. The contents were worth $1.5 million. The Vb2 wallet, on the other hand, consisted of 3,017<strong>.</strong>96 ETH. The exact reason behind the latest transfer is not known. However, it should be noted that Vb2 is a&nbsp;wallet&nbsp;that is believed to be controlled by Buterin himself. One thesis that community members believe is that the Ethereum co-founder could be shuffling funds from one wallet to another to secure his holdings and shield them from getting hacked.</p>

 <p>The latest transfer comes on the heels of Buterin’s 600 ETH transfer [valued at $1 million] to the Coinbase exchange last week. The nature of the aforementioned transaction also remains unknown. However, as revealed in a recent article, speculation pointed to the possibility that Buterin could be selling. In fact, people had already started labeling this transaction as the beginning of the dumping season.</p> 
 <p>At press time, Ethereum’s exchange net-flows reflected a positive value of 7,372 ETH, bringing to light the emerging sell pressure in the Ethereum market. If this intensifies going forward, ETH’s valuation could be dented.</p>
