In the turbulent world of cryptocurrencies, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin continues to surprise with his straightforwardness regarding unwanted tokens. On October 30, 2025, the analytical platform Lookonchain reported: Buterin liquidated 275 trillion $CAT tokens — yet another batch of meme coins that fans throw into his wallet — for a modest $14,216 on the Lifi Diamond platform. This deal underscores his ongoing practice: turning 'spam gifts' into real value, often for charity.
Buterin's hatred for meme coins is no secret. These tokens, inspired by internet memes about cats and dogs, arrive as a strange form of fan mail. Instead of accumulating, he instantly exchanges them for $ETH or stablecoins, avoiding speculative chaos. This sale followed an October transaction of $96,000 worth of various meme coins, fueling rumors of donations for research against airborne diseases — a reflection of his philanthropy after COVID.
Critics argue that such sales undermine prices: CAT temporarily dipped amid overall market stress. Ethereum itself struggles below $4000, with liquidations at $812 million. But Buterin's actions highlight a deeper philosophy: crypto should be about reality, not hype.
