Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, recently donated proceeds from selling animal-themed meme coins to charity, adding to his history of using crypto for charity and humanitarian causes.
This act follows his significant donation in October 2023, where he contributed $5 million in Ethereum (ETH) to support Ukraine during its conflict with Russia.
The community has commended him and expressed their sincere opinions that Buterin’s actions reflect a consistent dedication to using his wealth and influence to impact global issues positively.
As appeared in a series of tweets, Buterin sold 40 ETH worth of Neirodog tokens, worth approximately $533K, an animal-themed meme coin, and directed the proceeds to charity.
The donation was announced by the Neiro community via Twitter, expressing gratitude for Buterin’s generosity.
Buterin commented on the donation, emphasizing his preference for direct charity allocations and suggesting that the crypto space explore more sophisticated methods of funding public goods.
Charity donation done, covering all animal coins from the past year or so!
That said, I appreciate it if coin holdings just get allocated to the charities directly
