Vitalik Buterin, a cofounder of Ethereum (ETH), has moved a total of 2.09 million Starknet (STRK) tokens to Binance (BNB), the world's largest centralized exchange by volume and user count. Vitalik's STRK deposit is worth about $800,000, according to current prices.

The mysterious transaction was noticed by Onchain Lens automated tracker. The analysts also mentioned that Buterin might be selling STRK at loss of $714,000.

If this is true, the Ethereum (ETH) creator might be almost done selling his STRK stake, as he would also have 15,862 tokens left.
