Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said on social media in response to a suggestion from Twitter users that it stop selling ETH, "Yesterday's ETH sell-off was initiated by a biodefense group I funded and was triggered by an automated CoWSwapTWAP order set back on August 29. This is the last order." The Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) order launched by DEX aggregator CoW Swap allows traders to spread their trades over a specified period of time to smooth market price fluctuations in order to obtain a position of the average market price.
