Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin Sells Over 19,000 ETH Amid Market Slump
In February 2026, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin sold approximately 19,326 ETH, surpassing his initially announced amount by about 2,942 ETH. According to Foresight News, this move comes as the cryptocurrency market continues to experience a downturn, with Ethereum facing a six-month consecutive decline, reaching a monthly drop of nearly 30%.
Buterin had previously announced his plan to withdraw 16,384 ETH from his personal wallet on January 30, aiming to gradually liquidate the assets. This decision was made in response to the Ethereum Foundation's (EF) shift towards a 'moderate tightening' phase, intending to reduce annual spending from 15% to 5% of the treasury over five years, focusing more on core protocol development.
The funds from the sale are intended to support open-source projects and public goods, including privacy technologies, secure hardware, verifiable computing, encrypted communication, local-first software, open-source operating systems, biotechnology, and public health tools. These areas are considered crucial yet peripheral under EF's tightened focus, and Buterin emphasized his personal commitment to sharing the responsibility of EF's financial adjustments.
The entire sale process was transparent, utilizing on-chain tools for tracking. Buterin executed the sales through a single address and protocol, CoW Swap, in small batches to minimize market impact.
Despite the transparency, the actual sale exceeded the initially announced amount. The sales began on February 3, paused for about ten days, and resumed on February 22, with significant acceleration in the last two days. Notably, 4,211.5 ETH were sold on February 5, 2,283 ETH on February 25, and 6,297 ETH on February 26.
Buterin has not provided further clarification on the discrepancy between the announced and actual sale amounts. He has previously stated that since 2018, he has not sold ETH for personal wealth accumulation, with proceeds primarily directed towards donations, open-source projects, or charitable causes.
While Buterin's transparent approach contrasts with some projects that discreetly offload assets, potentially leading to market crashes or trust issues, his actions might still impact community and investor confidence. With the market already fragile, Buterin's sales could amplify fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD), potentially exacerbating the bearish market pressure and affecting Ethereum's rebound and ecosystem stability.

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, raised concerns that modern prediction markets are becoming overly focused on short-term, high-engagement bets — particularly crypto price speculation and sports gambling — which he believes distort incentives and provide little long-term societal value. He said prediction markets have matured enough to support professional traders and can complement traditional media by aggregating information efficiently. However, he warned that many platforms are converging on “dopamine-driven” use cases that prioritize volume and revenue, especially during bear markets when teams feel pressure to monetize quickly. In his view, relying too heavily on uninformed or financially desperate participants creates unhealthy product dynamics and encourages low-quality market behavior. Buterin described three core participant groups in prediction markets: informed traders who contribute signal and earn profits, naive traders who tend to lose due to poor assumptions, and hedgers who knowingly accept negative expected returns in exchange for risk reduction. He argues that today’s platforms depend too much on naive traders, while the more sustainable path is to grow hedging use cases. He proposes shifting prediction markets toward generalized risk-hedging tools — for example, allowing investors to offset political or macro risks tied to their portfolios. He also connects this idea to the future of stable-value assets, suggesting that instead of relying purely on fiat-backed stablecoins, markets could create personalized hedging baskets linked to price indices of real-world goods and services. That model, he says, could improve decentralization and better match users’ actual stability needs. Overall, Buterin urges builders to move prediction markets toward long-term financial infrastructure and risk management functions rather than short-term speculative betting demand.
“The most intriguing accounts of cryptocurrencies found in documents related to Epstein”
Oh, what a good thing to get involved with these stories! Well, it turns out that by digging into the papers of that Jeffrey Epstein — the one convicted of a serious crime — a whole bunch of things related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency appeared? It seems that the guy was already dealing with this back at the beginning, understood the protocols, and even got involved in the most well-known projects. During the week, people have already been spreading some good stories about these files that the Department of Justice released. They discovered that Epstein put money in Coinbase and Blockstream, and he also had a close friendship with Brock Pierce, co-founder of Tether.

Bitcoin Removed from Portfolio Amid Quantum Computing Concerns
According to Foresight News, Christopher Wood, the global head of equity strategy at Jefferies, has eliminated the 10% Bitcoin allocation from his model portfolio. Wood expressed concerns that the rapid advancement of quantum computing poses a potential threat to Bitcoin's encryption security and its status as a long-term store of value, particularly for pension investors seeking stability. The removed Bitcoin allocation has been redistributed into the gold sector, with 5% allocated to physical gold and another 5% to gold mining stocks. Wood noted that since the initial allocation in December 2020, Bitcoin has surged by 325%, significantly outperforming gold, which rose by 145% during the same period. However, amid rising geopolitical risks and emerging technological threats, gold's historical role as a safe haven is becoming increasingly attractive.

Bitcoin bear market still in play as power law sees $65K 'do-or-die' price
Bitcoin (BTC) faces a “do-or-die” price point if 2026 becomes a classic bear market year.
Key points:
Bitcoin four-year price cycles and bear markets remain relevant, the latest power law analysis says.
2026 may see a BTC price support showdown with $65,000 as the key level.
History demands price “catching up” to power-law targets.
Bitcoin bear markets to stay around
New analysis by Jurrien Timmer, director of global macro at Fidelity Investments, flags $65,000 as the next key BTC price battleground.
After hugging its power law trendline for much of the current bull market, BTC/USD could now be due for a retest of a lower support line — one currently at $45,000.
“It is following the internet S-curve a lot closer now than the power law curve,” Timmer acknowledged.
Power law attempts to give price a “fair value,” and history shows that trips toward the support line have often accompanied long-term bottoms.
“For now, the line in the sand for Bitcoin is $65k (previous high), and below that $45k. The latter is the power law trendline,” Timmer continued.
“That’s still far away but if Bitcoin consolidates for the next year, that trendline could get closer to $65k and could become a do-or-die line in the sand for Bitcoin.”

The analysis called into question whether or not Bitcoin is still subject to four-year price cycles. For Timmer, halving cycles are impacting price less and less with time, but bear markets will still happen.
Responding, executive David Eng agreed that bear markets are set to remain a feature of Bitcoin as a maturing asset.
“The idea that Bitcoin has ‘graduated’ into a no-bear-market S-curve price regime misunderstands how prices form,” he argued.
“Bitcoin is a scarce fixed asset inside the financial system, not a standalone S-curve like the internet.”
Eng added that Bitcoin now faces longer price cycles and lower overall volatility.
”Compressed” BTC price needs a rebound
As Cointelegraph reported, four-year cycles became a topic of debate among the Bitcoin community after 2025 finished in the red.
BTC/USD has never ended a post-halving year lower than when it began, and reactions include dropping the cycle theory altogether.
Eng, however, predicts that “compressed” power law readings demand an upward relief rally.
“Bitcoin isn’t stalling it’s coiling below its long-term growth law, and history says resolution comes by price catching up, not the law giving way,” he told X followers this weekend.
Bitcoin is Compressed Below Its Growth Law, and Compression Always Resolves Upward
Bitcoin still obeys a single power law with extraordinary stability (R² ≈ 0.96) across 15+ years bubbles and crashes are oscillations, not regime changes.

Debate Over Bitcoin's Four-Year Cycle Amid ETF Influence
According to Odaily, the validity of Bitcoin's four-year cycle has once again become a central topic within the ecosystem. Some argue that the cycle should not extend to 2026 due to the $57 billion inflow into ETFs. However, opposing views maintain that the cycle remains intact, with historical coincidences supporting this perspective. For instance, Bitcoin's recent local bottom occurred on November 21, 2025, at a price of $80,524, mirroring the previous cycle's low on November 21, 2022, at $15,460, with both dates being identical.
Currently, market attention is shifting towards January 2026, when a U.S. crypto market structure bill is scheduled for a hearing on January 15. This event is seen as a potential significant turning point in the current Bitcoin cycle.
