Cointelegraph has independently verified several transactions using access to Nansen 2 beta’s wallet profiler and blockchain data. It has been discovered that 2,000 ETH ($4.9 million) has been transferred from a wallet long associated with the Ethereum co-founder to the address responsible for these transactions.
Spot On Chain has revealed that the source of the 2,000 ETH transaction is a “better-known address” (0xD04daa65144b97F147fbc9a9B45E741dF0A28fd7) belonging to Buterin, rather than the middle address (0x5567A4bE2D5b77F5Fd870f99Ed9167Feab8831B1) that has been sending funds to exchanges.
Cointelegraph previously reported a 600 ETH ($1 million) transaction from the vitalik.eth address on Aug. 21, which was also identified by on-chain monitoring platforms.
