The move continues a longstanding pattern in which Buterin sells off random tokens sent to his wallet, often without prior notice or consent.<\/p>\n<p>According to on-chain <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lookonchain\/status\/1983783479348490755?s=46\">data<\/a>, the sale involved 275 trillion CAT tokens, which Buterin offloaded via Lifi Diamond, a multi-chain liquidity aggregator. The tokens were reportedly sent to his wallet just two days earlier. In typical fashion, the transaction sparked a dip in CAT\u2019s price, which is down 0.81% in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vitalik Buterin offloads CAT tokens | Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lookonchain\/status\/1983783479348490755?s=46\">Lookonchain<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Meanwhile, the CAT memecoin was not the only asset to hit Buterin\u2019s wallet this week.

Earlier in October, he converted a batch of assorted memecoins totaling $96,000 ETH, which added to speculation about his consistent disinterest in holding memecoins.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vitalik Buterin\u2019s memecoin history<\/h2>\n<p>Amid the recent dump, Buterin has repeatedly voiced concerns over memecoins, labeling them as digital assets without value and urging projects to stop sending them to his wallet. Despite these warnings, his public wallet remains a frequent target for token airdrops, often used to create artificial hype.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the memecoin sale comes amid a broader downturn in the crypto market. Over $812 million in positions have been liquidated in the past 24 hours, and total open interest has dropped by 1.28% to $161 billion. Ethereum\u2019s price has dipped below the $4,000 mark, struggling to regain momentum as bearish sentiment lingers, even in the face of a U.S. Federal Reserve 25bps rate cut.<\/p>\n<p>While Vitalik Buterin\u2019s latest sale may seem small in value, it reinforces his ongoing stance against memecoins and the market\u2019s persistent attempts to exploit his name for visibility.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is once again in the spotlight after offloading another batch of memecoins.
