这就是以太坊创始人转移 200 万美元 ETH 的原因

以太坊联合创始人 Vitalik Buterin 否认了有关他为了个人利益而出售大量以太币的指控。

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has denied selling large amounts of Ether (ETH) for personal gain, following allegations that he has been doing so to the tune of millions of dollars.

以太坊联合创始人维塔利克·布特林 (Vitalik Buterin) 否认出售大量以太币 (ETH) 以谋取个人利益，此前有指控称他出售了大量以太币 (ETH)，金额达数百万美元。

According to blockchain data tracker Lookonchain, Buterin transferred 800 ETH, currently valued at around $2 million, to a multi-signature (multi-sig) wallet on Aug. 30. The recipient address then swapped 190 ETH for 477,000 USD Coin (USDC) shortly after.

根据区块链数据跟踪器 Lookonchain 的数据，Buterin 于 8 月 30 日将 800 ETH（目前价值约 200 万美元）转移到多重签名（multi-sig）钱包。随后接收地址很快将 190 ETH 换成了 477,000 美元代币（USDC）后。

In a post on social media platform X, Lookonchain also noted that Buterin had moved 3,000 ETH, equivalent to more than $8 million, to the same multi-sig address on Aug. 9. This activity has been closely monitored by members of the crypto community.

Lookonchain 在社交媒体平台 X 上的一篇帖子中还指出，Buterin 于 8 月 9 日将 3,000 ETH（相当于超过 800 万美元）转移到同一个多重签名地址。这一活动受到了加密货币社区成员的密切监控。

One community member accused Buterin of ignoring commentary on his recent ETH transfers, while another suggested that it would not be inappropriate for him to take some profit by reducing his ETH holdings.

一名社区成员指责 Buterin 无视对其最近 ETH 转账的评论，而另一名社区成员则表示，他通过减少 ETH 持有量来获取一些利润并没有什么不合适的。

However, Buterin responded to this supportive post on X, stating that he has not sold any ETH for personal gain since 2018. According to Buterin:

然而，Buterin 在 X 上回应了这篇支持性的帖子，表示自 2018 年以来，他没有出售任何 ETH 以谋取个人利益。Buterin 表示：

“I haven’t sold and kept the proceeds since 2018. All sales have been to support various projects that I think are valuable, either within the Ethereum ecosystem or broader charity (e.g. biomedical R&D).”

“自 2018 年以来，我没有出售并保留收益。所有销售都用于支持我认为有价值的各种项目，无论是在以太坊生态系统内还是更广泛的慈善机构（例如生物医学研发）。”

This revelation garnered further support from the online crypto community, with some members encouraging the Ethereum co-founder to spend some of his assets on luxury items.

这一消息得到了在线加密货币社区的进一步支持，一些成员鼓励以太坊联合创始人将部分资产花在奢侈品上。

Buterin disclosed in a Reddit post three years ago that all the Ether tokens he owns — 11.9 million ETH at the time — come from the pre-mine period, during which he received approximately 700,000 ETH.

三年前，Buterin 在 Reddit 帖子中透露，他拥有的所有 Ether 代币（当时为 1190 万 ETH）都来自预挖阶段，在此期间他收到了大约 700,000 ETH。

For context, pre-mining can be likened to initial coin offerings (ICOs), where founders, developers, and early investors are rewarded with a percentage of the tokens.

就上下文而言，预挖矿可以比作首次代币发行（ICO），其中创始人、开发人员和早期投资者将获得一定比例的代币奖励。

According to blockchain intelligence firm Arkham, Buterin currently holds about 240,000 ETH, valued at around $1.06 billion. This present figure is roughly 423,000 ETH less than the initial tokens received by the Ethereum co-founder.

据区块链情报公司 Arkham 称，Buterin 目前持有约 24 万枚 ETH，价值约 10.6 亿美元。目前的数字比以太坊联合创始人收到的初始代币少了大约 423,000 ETH。

At the time of writing, the price of Ethereum has fallen below $2,500, reflecting a 1.9% decline over the last 24 hours. The altcoin's price is also down by more than 10% in the past week, according to data from CoinGecko.

截至撰写本文时，以太坊的价格已跌破 2,500 美元，在过去 24 小时内下跌了 1.9%。根据 CoinGecko 的数据，过去一周山寨币的价格也下跌了 10% 以上。
