Does Vitalik Own Ethereum?

It is no secret that Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, owns a large amount of ETH. In fact, at one point he owned 5% of all ETH in existence.

However, does he still own that much ETH? It is hard to say for sure.

What is known is that Buterin has been selling ETH over the past year or so. In December 2017, he sold 25,000 ETH (worth around $12 million at the time) and said that he planned to sell more in the future to “diversify his holdings.

NOTE: WARNING: This statement is false and should not be taken as fact. Vitalik Buterin does not own Ethereum, he is an active core developer of the Ethereum blockchain and has been since its inception. Vitalik Buterin is an advocate for Ethereum, but he does not own or control the platform in any way.

” It’s possible that Buterin has sold even more ETH since then.

So it seems that Buterin has been gradually selling off his ETH holdings over time. As of now, it is unclear how much ETH he still owns.

However, given his past behavior, it is likely that he does not own as much ETH as he did in the past.
