Vitalik Buterin is continuing his planned Ethereum sales, even as the market rallies sharply. According to on-chain tracking platforms Lookonchain and Onchain Lens, Buterin recently sold another 4,458 ETH worth approximately $8.92 million.
This latest transaction brings his total progress to 97% completion of a previously disclosed plan to sell 16,384 ETH.
Only 504 ETH, valued at just over $1 million, remains to be sold.
Data shows that since February 2, Buterin has sold 15,479 ETH for around $30.94 million, at an average price close to $1,999 per ETH.
Over the past seven days alone, he reportedly converted more than $8.6 million worth of ETH into various stablecoins, including PYUSD, EURC, LUSD, and GHO.
Despite the sales, Buterin still holds approximately 259,350 ETH, worth nearly $500 million, spread across multiple wallets.
Interestingly, the selling activity has not slowed down Ethereum’s price momentum.
Ethereum is up about 7.5% in the past 24 hours, trading near $2,058. The rally significantly outperformed Bitcoin, which gained around 3.4% during the same period.
Trading volume has surged, showing strong buying interest and investor confidence.
The price recently touched a range high near $2,150 before pulling back slightly.
In the short term, Ethereum appears to be consolidating after its strong rally.
Levels to watch:
If ETH holds above the $1,990 level, analysts say another push toward $2,200 could be possible. However, a break below support may increase the risk of a deeper pullback.
Some experts are also watching for confirmation of a full five-wave upward move, which would strengthen the bullish case.
