Vitalik Buterin-Named Address Spent 500 ETH to Mint RAI

An address named after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin spent over 500 ETH to mint 150k RAI tokens, and later surprisingly swapped 132.5k RAI for 378.5k USDC tokens. 

#PeckShieldAlert Vitalik-labeled address has deposited 500 $ETH in Reflexer to mint 150k $RAI, and swapped 132.5k $RAI for 378.5k $USDC. Additionally, they swapped 17.5k $RAI for 50k $DAI within the last 3 hourshttps://t.co/dM1pheTW0x pic.twitter.com/camCgl1fsk

Blockchain security analytics firm Peckshield reported the address named vitalik.eth even swapped 17.5k RAI for 50k DAI tokens.

The vitalik.eth wallet, which was created seven years ago, holds more than 5,362 ETH at the time of writing. The Reflexer Finance-issued RAI token is backed by ETH. 

Meanwhile, de-pegged USDC & DAI offered exposure to debtors to save $100 Million. The de-pegging pushed the borrowers to repay the loan at a discount, resulting in over $2 billion in loan amount repaid on Aave and Compound.
