Ethereum Surge Pushes Vitalik Buterin’s Net Worth Past $1 Billion!

Jakarta, Pintu News – Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum (ETH), has quietly entered the ranks of billionaires-at least in terms of assets recorded on the blockchain.

Based on data from blockchain analytics platform Arkham, Buterin’s total publicly visible crypto holdings have now surpassed $1.02 billion.

This milestone came shortly after the price of Ether broke the $4,000 level for the first time in eight months.

Ethereum at the Core

According to Arkham Intelligence, most of Vitalik Buterin’s portfolio consists of Ethereum itself.

Currently, he owns around 240,000 ETH worth about $1.014 billion. This is not surprising, given his role as one of the creators of the network and his strong commitment to its development.

Ethereum has been at the center of numerous blockchain innovations, from decentralized finance (DeFi) to NFTs. Buterin’s ownership reflects his deep connection to the success of these projects.

Other Tokens in the Portfolio

In addition to ETH, Arkham’s data shows that Vitalik Buterin also owns 2,906 Aave Ethereum (AETHWETH) tokens as well as smaller amounts of other cryptocurrencies, such as WhiteRock (WHITE), Moo Deng (MOODENG), and Wrapped Ethereum (WETH).

While this is much smaller than his Ethereum holdings, it shows that Buterin is no stranger to exploring various assets in the crypto ecosystem.

A Transparent Billionaire

Unlike many figures in the world of technology and finance, Vitalik Buterin’s wealth is clearly visible on the blockchain, where every token in his public wallet can be tracked in real time.

He first became a crypto billionaire in May 2021, at the age of 27, when the price of Ether surpassed $3,000 and he held around 333,500 ETH worth $1.02 billion, according to Etherscan data.

In 2018, he once stated that he never owned more than 0.9% of Ethereum’s total supply, and his wealth “never came close” to $1 billion.

Today, rising ETH prices and increasing institutional interest continue to drive the growth of his wealth.

The US-based spot Ethereum ETF recently recorded net inflows of $461 million. As of now, ETH is trading at around $4,201 with a market capitalization of $507.8 billion.
