In October, Buterin sold 10 billion MOODENG meme tokens for 308.7 ETH (~$765,576 at the time) and donated 260.15 ETH to charity. It is possible that proceeds from the sale of other coins will be used for similar purposes.
Previously, he donated 100 ETH (~$242,000) to the legal defense fund for Tornado Cash developers Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm.
Earlier in October, economist Tyler Cowen suggested awarding Buterin a Nobel Prize in this scientific discipline.
