Bank of Japan is hiking interest rates again… while selling $600 billion in U.S. stocks and ETFs.
Rate hikes + asset sales = global liquidity collapse.
This is a recipe for disaster.
And most people still don’t know the TRUTH:
Japan is preparing to dump $620 BILLION in U.S. stocks and ETFs to protect the yen.
Yes - stocks. Not just bonds. Not just FX.
This is a full-blown liquidity maneuver.
And markets are NOT priced for it.
The yen has been under nonstop pressure.
Officials have warned. They’ve hinted. They’ve delayed.
Now the messaging has shifted.
Japan can’t defend the yen with talk anymore. They need real action.
That means selling dollar-based assets.
And a huge chunk of those assets live inside U.S. markets.
So this is no longer a “Japan-only” issue.
It turns into a global risk event.
Here’s the domino effect almost nobody is watching: → Japan sells U.S. equities and ETFs → Dollar liquidity drains → Volatility explodes across indexes → Risk assets reprice fast → Forced liquidations begin

📈XRP recently recorded roughly $900 million in weekly realized losses, marking the biggest capitulation event since 2022. The previous major spike occurred 39 months ago, when realized losses hit -$1.93 billion.
What followed? XRP surged 114% over the next eight months.
That historical pattern is now back in focus and as XRP is preparing for a massive move, trading on the XRP Ledger just got so much easier with DEX Pro!
DEX Pro pulls together all the essential data and analytics you need into one simple, convenient place.
End 2021: ~330,920 ETH End 2022: ~250,150 ETH End 2023: ~246,030 ETH End 2024: ~240,610 ETH End 2025: ~240,010 ETH
Today 240k ETH range
Even after this $8M sale, he still holds well over 200,000 ETH.
Against a circulating supply of more than 120 million ETH, and billions in daily trading volume, this is not a structural exit.
Should you really be worried about it? Because when a founder sells it might look bad at first.
First, context.
Vitalik Buterin has made very few open-market ETH sales since 2021.
He has said multiple times since 2018 that he doesn’t sell ETH for personal gain.
When he moves ETH to exchanges or swaps it, it has historically been tied to donations, research, biotech funding like Kanro, or broader ecosystem support.
That’s his pattern.
Recent 2026 Activity
• Late January: 16,384 ETH moved to another wallet (not sold, reserved for multi-year funding).
• Early February: Between ~2,900 and ~6,100 ETH sold over several days, roughly $6M–$13M total depending on calculation.
• February 22: 3,500 ETH withdrawn from Aave, with 571 ETH sold so far (~$1.1M).
• Today : $8M worth of ETH sold.
These were not massive single market dumps. They were structured swaps in batches.
Founder selling always creates short-term fear. That part is normal. But size matters.
If we were seeing tens of thousands of ETH hitting centralized exchanges aggressively, that would change the discussion.
Right now, what we’re seeing fits his historical pattern: periodic selling tied to funding and allocation, not liquidation.
You don’t have to like it. But the numbers don’t suggest panic.

THESE ARE MY REASON BEHIND MY STRONG CONVICTION OF AN ALTSEASON THIS YEAR.
The CLARITY ACT passing will finally give guidance to institutions that LEGALLY cannot buy $Bitcoin today.
There's literally $TRILLIONS SIDELINED waiting for Clarity act to pass
That means:
• $40T in U.S. pensions • $30T in corporate & #institutional treasuries • $7T in insurance capital • $11T in sovereign wealth funds • $10T in 401(k) & retirement plans • $100T in RIA-managed money
A 1–3% allocation = $TRILLIONS.
Example: If just pensions and RIAs allocated 1%, that’s:
1% of ($40T + $100T) = $1.4 trillion in potential flows.
For context: Bitcoin’s entire free-floating supply available on exchanges is well under 2 million.
$1.4T in new demand chasing <2M Bitcoin implies a price of:
• $700,000 BTC at a 2M float • $350,000 BTC at a 4M liquid float • $1,000,000+ BTC if allocations reach 2–3% over time
That’s not hopium. That’s simple supply-and-demand math.
DO YOU NOW UNDERSTAND?
All these and some people still think there's no #ALTSEASON
