This caused the ETH community to panic and people started posting skepticism on X. Some users even went to say that he has started dumping his holdings for gains.

Instead, he made all sales to support various Web3 projects within the Ethereum ecosystem or for broader charity. Buterin clearly prioritizes the crypto community, and his actions reflect his dedication rather than personal gain.
