Now, this move is considered quite unusual for the Ethereum developer, as he doesn’t often sell crypto assets from his address. Vitalik has also sold over 5000 DHN (Dohrnii) tokens for 65.19 ETH. 😲

While ETH price is currently hovering around monthly lows and has been underperforming since last year, several users are joking that Vitalik had to cash out ETH to pay his bills. 💸 But hey, the amount of ETH he accumulated by selling those memecoins only amounts to thousands. 🤷‍♂️

As per Etherscan data, Vitalik currently holds 772.60 ETH, worth approximately $1.46 million and other $536k worth of tokens. 💰
