Vitalik Buterin just liquidated his MANYU donations—and holders are betting this triggers a Shiba Inu-style explosion.
The Buterin Bounce Effect
Every time Ethereum’s co-founder offloads donated tokens, the market reacts. This time, MANYU investors are convinced history will repeat itself—just like when SHIB ripped after Buterin’s wallet movements.
Speculation Overload
Traders are piling in, hoping the sell-off creates a vacuum that rockets prices upward. No fundamental analysis—just pure, unfiltered hopium. Because in crypto, why bother with boring stuff like utility when you can ride a narrative?
Finance’s Ironic Twist
Wall Street still doesn’t get it—meanwhile, a token named after an anime character might just print life-changing gains because one guy sold. Never change, crypto.

Shiba Inu-Style Rally Incoming?
Buterin’s recent wallet activity, particularly his sale of MANYU, did not go unnoticed by enthusiasts of the token. Interestingly, most users see the sale as a bullish event that could drive MANYU’s value to greater heights.
Some users referenced how Shiba Inu’s market cap reached billions of dollars after the Ethereum founder offloaded SHIB. Recall that the Shiba Inu’s pseudonymous founder Ryoshi gifted Buterin 50% of the token’s supply (500 trillion SHIB). The donation was part of a broader marketing strategy aimed at attracting investors’ attention to SHIB.
Shortly after the donation, Buterin burned over 410 trillion SHIB and donated the rest to nonprofits supporting COVID-19 relief efforts. Although the transaction initially resulted in a sharp decline in SHIB’s price, it rebounded, eventually reaching an all-time high five months after Buterin offloaded the tokens.
In a separate development, the price of the pygmy hippo-inspired meme coin, Moo Deng (MOODENG), also rallied significantly after Buterin sold 10 billion units of the token. Following his recent MANYU sale, X user Diana Sanchez suggested that whenever Buterin sells or disposes of a meme coin, the token eventually becomes legendary.
Another user, Belen Franchese, speculated that history will definitely repeat itself with MANYU, implying that the token's price would rally significantly, just like Shiba Inu and MOODENG did in the past.
MANYU Soars Only 2.51% in 24 Hours
In the meantime, MANYU is currently up 2.51% over the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.00002117 per token. It ranks as the 8,974th
cryptocurrency globally with a valuation of $21,170.
Currently, MANYU has fallen 95.13% from its previous ATH of $0.0004344, recorded on February 18. While meme coins like Shiba Inu and MOODENG rallied significantly after Buterin offloaded them, it remains uncertain whether MANYU will follow the same trajectory.
