Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, recently sold 5,000 DHN tokens, causing a dramatic shift in the token’s market value. The sale, which took place, involved Buterin selling his DHN for a total of 65.19 ETH, roughly worth $124,000. 

The Sale and Its Impact on the Market

According to a post on X by Spot On Chain , Buterin initially received 10,000 DHN tokens for free on January 29 from Dohrnii Labs’ Treasury. Following the sale, Buterin still holds 5,000 tokens, valued at around $114,600 at the current price. The considerable dip in value reflects how the market can react to large sales, especially when influential figures like Buterin are involved.

The transaction resulted in a substantial decrease of value within the token after its completion. Large marketplace transactions in cryptocurrency often lead to substantial value decreases as the drop reached 50 percent. The price stability of the token faces scrutiny due to the major impact leading figures exert on its market performance.

Even after the sale, Buterin retains a significant stake in DHN . His remaining 5,000 tokens continue to hold a substantial market value of $114,600. This positions him as a prominent holder, potentially influencing future market movements depending on how he manages his remaining tokens.
