The price of Ethereum surged to an all-time high of $3,188 today. That makes the project’s 27-year-old co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, one of the richest men in the world. He holds a little over $1 billion of Ethereum in a single wallet.
Buterin disclosed his personal ETH address in October 2018, noting that it also includes donations to charity. Currently, the wallet holds 333,520 ETH, or just over $1.06 billion. He said that he owns several other “relatively small” addresses.
Though that doesn't just include sales, it also includes some gifts and charity donations.

The community has closely watched Buterin’s addresses for fear that a huge sell-off indicates that the market has peaked. But Buterin is a confirmed HODLer: the last time he sold ETH was in August 2020, when he sold 13,333 ETH for $5.2 million—back then, the price was just below $390.
Here’s a crypto tidbit for you. In late 2015, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin sold half a million Ethereum (ETH) to Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz in an over-the-counter transaction. He sold each ETH for just $0.99. Today that nest egg would have been worth $229 million. Novogratz explained how the sale happened during an interview with YouTube channel Nugget’s News. He said that he met up with college roommate Joseph Lubin to discuss purchasing a 25% stake in his venture studio ConsenSy...
Nor is Buterin adept at calling the market top. He disclosed that he sold and donated an unspecified part of his ETH holdings for fiat when the price of ETH was $700, or almost half the previous top of $1,300 observed in January 2018.
*I* sold ETH at ~$700, or about half the top (actually, both sold and donated). The *ethereum foundation* sold at ~$1200, and that money has gone into devs and grants since then.
— vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) August 17, 2020
Despite his immense wealth, Buterin’s disclosed wallet is only the 22nd most valuable on the network, according to data from Etherscan.
It’s far less valuable than the wallet operated by major cryptocurrency exchanges and token issuers. The top wallet, associated with Wrapped Ether, has sucked in almost 7 million ETH ($22.1 billion), or more than 6% of Ethereum’s supply. The second most valuable wallet collects deposits to Ethereum 2.0; that wallet holds 4.137 million ETH ($1.3 billion).
The latest price rally also brought the holdings of the non-profit that organizes Ethereum’s development, the Ethereum Foundation, to more than $1.36 billion. Currently, the organization holds 430,141 ETH.
Buterin is not the only founder of a blockchain project known for selling their substantial holdings. Jed McCaleb, the co-founder of Ripple, also has a history of selling his XRP holdings. He’s already sold about 60 million XRP this month; the sales netted him $95.4 million.
Rektguy didn’t mint out its free NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain in 2022—but three years later, the brand has become incredibly familiar with the phrase “sold out,” with the Rekt Drinks brand clearing out successive drops and reaching more and more consumers along the way. The brand, which weathered a brutal crypto bear market thanks in part to the strength of its fervent community, has now sold more than 600,000 cans of Rekt Drinks, a non-alcoholic, flavored sparkling water that comes in a vari...
Two top Wall Street analysts are confident many top altcoins ETFs will imminently be approved for trading—so confident, they’ve now estimated the likelihood of such spot approvals coming before the end of the year at almost 100%. Solana, XRP, and Litecoin spot ETFs are near-locks at 95% odds of approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by the end of 2025, the analysts, Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart of Bloomberg, wrote Friday. Dogecoin, Cardano, Polkadot, Hedera, and Avalan...
Bitcoin holding company Nakamoto Holdings, the firm founded by crypto media entrepreneur David Bailey, has raked in an additional $51.5 million to establish a Bitcoin treasury—a corporate strategy that has become increasingly popular among public companies. The funds were raised in a private-investment-in-public-equity deal closed on Friday by Nakamoto's merger partner KindlyMD, according to KindlyMD's statement. The healthcare data firm sold its common stock at $5 per share in the raise. "Ad...
