After a two-week pause, Vitalik Buterin, known by the ENS name vitalik.eth, has resumed selling Ethereum (ETH) according to on-chain data. About eight hours ago, he withdrew 3,500 ETH, worth approximately $6.95 million, from Aave, a major decentralized lending platform. This withdrawal is believed to be part of a plan to sell off a portion of his holdings.
To date, 571 ETH, equivalent to around $1.13 million, has been sold. Market observers suggest that although the total amount of ETH withdrawn is significant, the actual volume sold remains relatively small compared to the overall market liquidity. As usual, transactions involving prominent figures in the crypto industry quickly attract attention and discussion.
Vitalik Buterin has not made any public statements regarding his selling intentions or timing. Previously, similar sales were often related to donations, funding, or personal asset management.

CryptoQuant: Ethereum Adoption Paradox Deteriorates, Price May Fall to $1500
