Vitalik Buterin just sold 40,000,080 $ASTEROID memecoins directly for 114,566 USDC straight to stablecoin, not ETH.
We all know the drill by now: people keep airdropping meme tokens to his wallet, he sells them, and the proceeds usually end up as donations to biomedical research or public goods (like his Kanro project).
But selling straight into stables this time? That’s a new flavor.
Is this just Vitalik being practical? Or is it a subtle signal about where he sees liquidity and risk heading in this cycle?
