 <p>Buterin took to Warpcast to discuss the recent transfers. There he said, “It’s not actually me selling; it’s almost always me donating to some charity, nonprofit, or other project, and the recipient selling because, well, they have to cover expenses.”</p>
 <p>Additionally, Buterin made clear that he has sold ETH “for personal gain since 2018.” Alternatively, the statement has been verified by TrustNodes. Indeed, they reported that the $15 million sold was sent from Vitalik’s address, which belonged to a biotechnology charity he founded called Kanro.</p>
 <p>Buterin currently has crypto holdings that are worth around $50 million. Moreover, the transfers had an unexpected impact on the Ethereum market when they were made public. Yet, the statement and clarification will likely calm many investors.</p>
