Vitalik Clarifies, Says Did Not Sell ETH for Personal Gains:
In a tweet shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, Vitalik Buterin said, he has not made any transaction with the purpose of business or personal benefits since 2018.
However, he further clarified that the move of transferring ETH coins in the past few years is for charity and donations. Vitalik further informed that if there is any information with titles like “Vitalik sends XXX ETH to [exchange]”, it’s not for selling, but always donating to some charity or nonprofit or other projects.
