Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media that he has sold all the animal memes he received in the past year and donated the funds to the "Animal Welfare Fund" under the charity organization Effective Altrui** Funds, with a total donation amount of approximately $532000.

Vitalik Buterin tweeted:

The charity donation has been completed, covering all animal coins from the past year or so! Although that's the case, I would be grateful if the tokens could be directly distributed to charitable organizations. It's 2024 now, and we can start raising more advanced public goods funds

It is worth mentioning that after Vitalik posted this tweet, its selling meme coin Neiro (Ethereum version) immediately rose rapidly, with an increase of over 1300% in the past 24 hours.
