Vitalik Buterin reduces holdings by 17,000 ETH, with a 37% monthly decline. Ethereum's selling pressure and staking yields both decline, exerting dual pressure.
On February 25, news reports indicate that as Ethereum's price has declined approximately 37% this month, market attention has shifted to Vitalik Buterin's on-chain fund movements. On-chain data platform Arkham Intelligence shows that Buterin-related wallets held about 241,000 ETH in early February, but this has recently decreased to approximately 224,000 ETH, with continuous outflows during this period, totaling a reduction of nearly $43 million in a single month, adding additional disturbance to ETH market sentiment.
On-chain records indicate that this batch of Ethereum was not sold off in a single large transaction but was gradually exchanged through decentralized aggregated trading methods, a typical slippage reduction strategy. This pace suggests that selling pressure is being released gradually rather than causing short-term liquidity shocks. Meanwhile, Ethereum's price has fallen back to around $1,900, with the weak trend resonating with ongoing fund outflows, intensifying investors' cautious outlook on the short-term trend.

Peter Schiff warns that Trump's State of the Union address could trigger a "sell-off," increasing the risk of a short-term pullback after Bitcoin's rally.
On February 25th, just before Trump delivered the State of the Union address, Bitcoin's price briefly surged from around $64,000 to nearly $66,000, sparking market discussions about policy expectations driving the rally. Although the short-term rebound boosted some crypto market sentiment, well-known gold advocate Peter Schiff expressed clear skepticism about this rally, believing it is more likely driven by speculative funds ahead of policy speeches rather than genuine demand improvement.
Peter Schiff posted on social media that traders might be betting on Trump mentioning Bitcoin in the State of the Union, thus buying in advance to create upward momentum. He emphasized that if the speech does not mention cryptocurrencies, market sentiment could decline; even if it does, a "profit-taking" sell-off could still occur. Such expectation-driven volatility is common in macro event cycles, often accompanied by high fluctuations and short-term capital battles.
