The Ethereum Foundation is strategically liquidating $43 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) to fund the development of the Ethereum ecosystem. This move will prioritize research, grants, and philanthropic initiatives supporting the broader network. The funds will be allocated to projects that drive innovation and growth in various areas related to Ethereum. 10,000 ETH worth approximately $43 million was earmarked for this purpose, with a planned approach to minimize market impact through phased sales. Notably, the sale coincides with recent trends of declining ETH ETF inflows, which may further influence market sentiment. Despite some pressure on ETH price after the announcement, institutional purchases are offsetting the Foundation’s sales. BitMine’s recent acquisition of $668 million worth of ETH serves as an example of continued demand for the cryptocurrency.
