The co -founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin regained the status of a dollar billionaire a few days after the broadcasting rate for the first time in eight months exceeded $ 4,000, ARKHAM analysts said.

Now the butaterin portfolio is estimated at about $ 1.04 billion. It has 240 042 ETH, as well as AAVE EThereum cryptocurrencies (Aethwath), Whiterock (White), Moo Deng (Mooden) and Wrapped Ethereum (Weth).

In October 2018, Butaterin said that he had never owned more than 0.9% of the total broadcast of the broadcast, and his fortune was “not even approaching” to $ 1 billion. For the first time, buterin became crypto -milliarder at 27, in May 2021, when the price of the ether first exceeded $ 3000. At that time, the businessman had about 333,500 ETH, which were estimated at about $ 1.029 billion.

On August 9–10, 2025, the broadcast increased by 6.38% and reached $ 4332 – this level was not observed since December 2024.

ARKHAM specialists
noted The growing dynamics of spot exchange stock funds (ETF) tied to the ether. On August 8, the total flow of revenues to the exchange funds on the air amounted to $ 461 million, while the ETF for Bitcoin, the influx of capital at the same time amounted to $ 404 million.

The growth of the broadcast can be connected with companies selling their securities for the sake of buying ETH for long -term storage. Buterin expressed strong fears about this trend.

“If you woke me up three years later and said that the treasury bonds led to the collapse of ETH, I would suggest that they somehow turned this into a game with an excessive credit shoulder,” the businessman said.

Recently, Buterin called for crypto project developers to pass decentralization tests in order to give the user real guarantees for compliance with the principles of the crypto industry.
