Over the past 5 hours, Vitalik Buterin sold 28 different meme coins, converting them into 984,000 USDC, which he subsequently donated to his charity organization, Kanro (@EmberCN, January 6, 2025). This activity was particularly impactful on smaller market cap tokens due to their shallow liquidity pools. For instance, $DINU experienced a 68% price drop, falling from $0.00000026416 to $0.00000008453 per token, while $JSHIBA saw a 38% decline from $0.0000002669 to $0.0000001655 per token (@EmberCN, January 6, 2025).

The trading implications of these sales are significant. The sudden sell-off caused a liquidity crunch, leading to substantial price volatility. The trading volume for $DINU spiked to 50 trillion tokens, resulting in a total volume of 13,208 USDC (@EmberCN, January 6, 2025). Similarly, $JSHIBA saw a trading volume of 80.47 trillion tokens, amounting to 21,466 USDC (@EmberCN, January 6, 2025). These volumes indicate a high level of market activity and potential for further volatility as the market absorbs the impact of these sales.

Technical analysis of the affected tokens reveals a bearish trend following Buterin's sales. For $DINU, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) dropped from 70 to 30, indicating a shift from overbought to oversold conditions (@EmberCN, January 6, 2025). The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) for $JSHIBA showed a bearish crossover, with the MACD line crossing below the signal line, suggesting a potential continuation of the downward trend (@EmberCN, January 6, 2025). Additionally, the on-chain metrics for these tokens showed a sharp increase in transaction volumes and a decrease in average transaction sizes, reflecting the impact of the large sell orders (@EmberCN, January 6, 2025).
