<p>This substantial transfer has sparked curiosity in the crypto community, raising questions about its purpose. Large movements like these often signal an intention to sell or inject liquidity. Given Ethereum’s recent surge in price, Buterin’s move might have a notable impact on the digital asset.</p>

<p>Looking back, this isn’t the first time the Ethereum Foundation’s wallet has been in the spotlight. Back on November 8, 2015, it received a substantial transaction, accumulating 47,814 ETH when the price per ETH was a mere $1.02. Fast forward to today, and the wallet’s holdings have soared to an impressive $166 million, showcasing Ethereum’s remarkable growth.</p> 
<p>Earlier this year, Buterin sent 200 ETH to <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/pro-xrp-advocate-criticizes-sec-and-slams-warren-amid-kraken-chaos/">Kraken</a> in March, hinting at a trend of transferring assets to crypto exchanges. Around the same time, he exchanged several unsolicited altcoins for 439.25 ETH, adding more layers to this crypto tale.</p>
