Buterin sells $ETH during price drop: Why are funds shifting to $MAXI presale?

According to CoinWorld, Vitalik Buterin's recent transfers of large amounts of Ethereum ($ETH) to exchanges have cast a bearish shadow over mainstream tokens, prompting capital to shift toward higher-risk assets. Some network meme coins with strong narratives are absorbing this liquidity; for example, Maxi Doge ($MAXI) has raised over $4.5 million. The project aims to foster a "fitness enthusiast" trading culture, offering gamified competitions and dynamic annual percentage yield (APY) staking features, positioning itself as an alternative to the stagnant price action of Layer-1 tokens.
