Taiko (TAIKO) is a rapidly emerging cryptocurrency that has caught the eye of many investors. <a href="https://coinpedia.org/crypto-live-news/ethereum-foundations-3m-eth-shift-creates-worries-2/">Ethereum Foundation</a> has transferred its entire stash of TKO tokens to Bitcoin Suisse, a top-tier crypto service provider.&nbsp; 
This transaction, valued at approximately $9.16 million, involves 3.484 million TKO tokens and follows a series of recent developments with the Taiko project. While many are wondering about the exact reason behind such a transfer.&nbsp; 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-details-of-the-transfer">Details of the Transfer</h2> 
According to blockchain monitoring service <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/address/0x976FD26BC177542C3aDE3aA28b374f866E7ddE4B">Arkham Intelligence</a>, the transfer was executed from the Ethereum Foundation’s wallet address to Bitcoin Suisse’s hot wallet with almost 3.484 million TKO tokens, valued at approximately $9.16 million.&nbsp; 
Meanwhile, this follows the Foundation’s receipt of these tokens from the Taiko mainnet on June 28.&nbsp; 
After receiving the tokens, they were cross-chained to the Ethereum mainnet before today’s transfer. Perhaps, the timing of the transfer coincides with some volatility in the Taiko (TAIKO) token market.&nbsp; 
As of now, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/taiko/">TAIKO is trading at $2.55</a>, showing a 3.3% decrease over the past 24 hours. With 63 million TAIKO tokens in circulation, the project’s market capitalization stands at about $162.3 million.

Buterin along with Gavin Wood, Charles Hoskinson, Joseph Lubin, and Anthony Di launched Ethereum in 2014. He co-created Ethereum when he understood that he could construct a new, possibly enhanced version by iterating on the Bitcoin blockchain.&nbsp; &nbsp; He has been involved in the Bitcoin community since 2011, writing and co-founding articles for Bitcoin magazine. Vitalik linked Bitcoin to a calculator and a future blockchain to a smartphone and used the same method of improving the system’s strength by making it more general purpose to blockchain network space. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; He was honored with the Thiel Fellowship Award in 2014 for bringing his innovative scientific and technical projects to reality, won the World Technology Network prize, Fortune 40 under 40 lists, and appeared on the Under 30 list of Forbes at the age of 23. coinpedia@gmail.com EntrepreneurCrypto and Blockchain Expert <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vitalikbuterinca" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://image.coinpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/27173941/facebook-1.png" alt="facebook icon" title="facebook icon"></a> <a href="https://ca.linkedin.com/in/vitalik-buterin-267a7450" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://image.coinpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/09190603/li.svg" alt="linked icon" title="linked icon"></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/vitalikbuterin?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://image.coinpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/09190602/tw.svg" alt="twitter icon" title="twitter icon"></a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/v.buterin/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://image.coinpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/09190603/in.svg" alt="instagram icon" title="instagram icon"></a> <a href="https://medium.com/@vitalikbuterin" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://image.coinpedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/10153100/me.svg" alt="medium icon" title="medium icon"></a> had earlier praised Taiko’s launch, highlighting its potential impact on the Ethereum ecosystem.

Adding to the excitement, Bithumb started trading TAIKO against the Korean won on July 9. This move has sparked more interest and trading activity among investors, bringing extra attention to Ethereum Layer 2 solutions. 
Even with some recent price changes, Taiko’s growing visibility, supported by Buterin’s praise, strengthens its role in improving Ethereum’s scalability.
