$MOODENG, once the biggest winner of Vitalik Buterin’s recent memecoin airdrop, is now grappling with a steep decline in value, following a wave of sales from the Ethereum co-founder.
On October 7, Buterin expressed gratitude in a tweet for receiving donations of various memecoins. Specifically, he mentioned Hippo, an Ethereum-based token, which saw its price skyrocket by 101% following his tweet, drawing attention to the coin. However, the hype was short-lived.
Over the past eight days, Buterin has sold off a significant portion of his $MOODENG holdings, causing the price to plummet. The token has dropped 72% from its peak of $0.0002714 to its current value of $0.00007614, leaving many investors concerned about its future stability.

Buterin Sold Off 31.7 Billion $MOODENG But Still Holds Notable Amount
The situation began on September 15 when the token’s deployer sent Buterin 61.7 billion $MOODENG, representing 14.68% of the total supply. Between October 5 and October 13, Buterin offloaded 31.7 billion tokens, amassing 731 ETH in the process. Despite these sales, he still holds 30 billion tokens, worth approximately $2.4 million.

Given Buterin’s track record of donating proceeds from memecoin sales to charity, there’s speculation that he may continue selling off the remaining $MOODENG tokens. If he does, it could further strain the already volatile market.
With Hippo’s current market cap sitting at $31.4 million and liquidity of just $1.1 million, continued sell-offs from Buterin would likely have a profound impact on the token’s price, raising concerns among investors about the long-term prospects of $MOODENG.
