Vitalik Buterin Accumulated Over $900K By Selling MOODENG

The biggest trade performed by the Ethereum founder was the sale of 10 billion MOODENG. Buterin exchanged the meme coin for 395.96 ETH totaling $976K. MSTR was the next biggest sale after he swapped 200K MSTR for 93.23 ETH valued at $231K.

Buterin also performed large swaps for POPCAT, EBULL, MILO and FWOG. Meanwhile, smaller holdings of TCATI, FWOG and VITALIK were also exchanged for ETH over the weekend. All of the tokens that were sold by Buterin registered price drops in the last 24 hours.

Meme Coin Market Cap Rises Despite Buterin’s Sell Off

Despite Buterin’s meme coin trades, the market cap for the lighthearted sector of the crypto space still saw its overall valuation increase in the past day of trading, with GOAT, BURN and GME leading gains as the meme coin sector’s market cap climbed more than 1%.

Political meme coins (PolitiFi) also saw their market cap jump by 2%. 

Tokens in their presale stage continued their positive momentum. Layer-2 PEPE alternative Pepe Unchained (PEPU) has already raised over $19.37 million through its ongoing ICO, which is one of the most successful of the year.

Another toke with strong momentum is Crypto All-Stars (STARS) , which has raised more than $2.2 million and offers an annual staking yield of 652%.
