What Other Cryptocurrencies Does Vitalik Buterin Hold?
As aforementioned, though it takes some digging and cross-referencing of the various Ethereum wallet addresses that Vitalik Buterin has, thanks to the transparency of blockchain we can see exactly what other digital assets he has. There are quite a few assets that aren’t worth noting, so we’ll stick to the assets he holds within the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Many projects simply send him assets like Shiba Inu did (more on this later), leading him to have a variety of high balances of small-cap assets.
How much money does Vitalik Buterin have? Well if you total up his Ethereum balance, along with the balances we’ll note below and the variety of other NFTs and smaller-cap cryptocurrencies he owns, he has well over $650 million. Here are some of his most notable non-ETH holdings:
Ethereum Naming Service (ENS): As you might expect from someone who’s using an Ethereum domain, Buterin also holds ENS across a couple of his wallets. Buterin has just under 1500 units of ENS worth a little over $25k USD at current prices.
USD Coin (USDC): Buterin holds a little over $30k in USDC across a couple of wallets.
Uniswap (UNI): The governance asset of Uniswap exchange, Buterin holds exactly 1400 UNI in one of his wallets. That amount is worth a little over $8,500 USD.
Wrapped Ethereum (WETH):Wrapped Ethereum is necessary for interaction with lots of various Ethereum decentralized finance applications, so it makes sense that Buterin holds some in addition to his regular ETH. Buterin holds over 180 units of WETH, which amounts to about $435k USD at current prices.
OMG Network (OMG): Though not a top 100 cryptocurrency by market cap, OMG has long been a favorite project of Buterin, and he holds it in multiple wallets. He holds over 130k units of OMG worth over $85k USD.
