Recently, the Ethereum Foundation has transferred all its TKO tokens with a total value of $9.16 million to Bitcoin Suisse. This strategic move comes at a time when Taiko has successfully launched its mainnet which is a major achievement of the project.
The transfer was very accurate through the cross-chain transfer to Ethereum and then to Bitcoin Suisse.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-details-of-the-token-transfer">Details of the Token Transfer</h2>
This transaction was for 3.484 million TKO tokens and was carried out at 16:25 UTC+8 according to <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/address/0x976FD26BC177542C3aDE3aA28b374f866E7ddE4B" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Arkham Intelligence</a>, a blockchain analysis company. The tokens were initially obtained from the Taiko mainnet on June 28 and then were made ready for transfer.
The Ethereum Foundation has taken a positive move to transfer these assets to Bitcoin Suisse, a well-known institutional-grade platform for crypto assets services. This shows confidence in the platform’s ability to manage large and significant crypto assets.
Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, backed the Taiko project, with the project’s potential to positively impact the Ethereum ecosystem. He hailed it shortly after the Mainnet launch of the project due to its contribution to the different methods offered by Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions.

After the transfer, the TKO token has been subject to market volatility, with a minor drop in its value. This is conventional in markets given major token movements usually attract FOMO and trading hype. At press time, TAIKO was trading at $2.50 a 4.45% price decline, the market capitalization equals approximately $164,608,414.
In addition, <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/05/28/bithumb-unveils-ar-what-next/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bithumb</a> launched TAIKO trading in the Korean won market on July 9th, which increased the token’s usability among the population. This listing has contributed to the trading activity and has cemented Taiko’s position within the Ethereum’s scaling solutions.

Apart from the transaction news, Ethereum co-founder <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/07/18/vitalik-buterin-warns-against-crypto-based-political-endorsements/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Vitalik Buterin</a> has also responded to the decentralization issues of the Ethereum network. Such issues were raised during the discourse on the enhancements of the network and the subsequent effects on the participants. Buterin’s reply happened in a workshop of the Ethereum Foundation where several ways of avoiding centralization were being discussed.
Buterin also <a href="https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2024/07/24/vitalik-buterin-impressed/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stressed</a> Ethereum should not lose its decentralized identity even with technological developments and issues with regulation. His dedication to decentralization was demonstrated as he suggested alterations to Ethereum’s plan, including advancing the usage of the Orbit mechanism to decrease the minimum staking amount.
The Ethereum Foundation’s transfer of its TKO tokens to Bitcoin Suisse showcases responsible management of its assets. Concurrently, the debate on network decentralization continues to spur discussions.
As Ethereum continues to evolve, the Foundation’s actions will shape the network’s future, ensuring it remains a leading platform for innovation and community-driven development.
