The firm said Buterin <span class=\"s4\">deposited<\/span> 214 ETH to an EthDev address.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his sales, Etherscan data showed that Buterin still holds 666 SHIK and 10 billion CULT tokens.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the tokens sold by Buterin are considered shitcoins, i.e., low-quality projects with little to no real value outside speculation. Due to Buterin's popularity in crypto, several projects send free tokens to his public address to buy free publicity and legitimacy from community members.<\/p>\n<h2>Buterin dumping tank value<\/h2>\n<p>Buterin sales have tanked the value of these tokens, according to dexscreener data. Per the <a href=\"https:\/\/dexscreener.com\/\">data<\/a>, BITE is down by 7%, CULT fell by 7.5%, and SHIK decreased by 60%.<\/p>\n<p>However, MOPS is an exception. The token rose by 216% in the last 24 hours despite Buterin's dumping.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time that Buterin has <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hudsonjameson\/status\/1392554160952905728?s=20\">dumped<\/a>\u00a0the coins sent to his address. A notable instance was when he <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/heres-why-ethereums-vitalik-buterin-burned-7-billion-in-shiba-inu-shib\/\">burnt<\/a> 90% of the 500 trillion Shiba Inu (<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/shiba-inu\/\">SHIBA<\/a>) tokens sent to his wallet. He also <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/vitalik-buterin-1-billion-in-shiba-inu-donates-it-all-to-indias-covid-fight\/\">donated<\/a> $1 billion worth of the tokens to the India COVID fund.<\/p>\n<p>In another case, he donated all the AKITA tokens sent to his wallet to Gitcoin's community Multi-Sig.<\/p>\n<h2>Community debates Buterin's action<\/h2>\n<p>Several crypto community members have speculated why Buterin was selling the tokens. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bull_bnb\/status\/1633021261415690247?s=20\">argued<\/a> that he was selling due to the bear market situation, while some <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/securezero\/status\/1632969511153414145?s=20\">think<\/a> he was selling because he wanted to avoid the tokens counting as income on his tax sheet.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, crypto influencer and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/hex\/\">HEX<\/a> token creator Richard Heart <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RichardHeartWin\/status\/1632975023320227844?s=20\"><span class=\"s4\">joked<\/span><\/a> that Buterin shouldn't sell the 15 HEX tokens in his wallet.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, of the tokens involved in Buterin's sell-off, CULT DAO had a major presence at the recent ETHDenver conference, with one of the largest areas by floor space of any project. The DAO also spoke on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0bc8Zq6u1-c\">main stage<\/a>, focusing on public good and privacy.
