Ethereum Foundation’s Plan

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has declared its intent to sell 10,000 ETH, worth around $43 million, over the next few weeks. The sale’s purpose includes funding research and development, ecosystem grants, and charitable donations.

Transparency Notice: Over several weeks this month, EF will convert 10K ETH via centralized exchanges as part of our ongoing work to fund R&D, grants, and donations. Conversions will take place over multiple smaller orders, rather than as a single large transaction.

This move is part of the EF’s new treasury policy, introduced in June 2025, to focus on fiscal responsibility and transparent funding. The policy stipulates maximum annual operating expenses, reserve requirements, and structured treasury sales.

The action is expected to influence Ethereum’s market dynamics, though the sale will be conducted gradually to prevent liquidity shocks. Historically, EF sales have influenced ETH price movements, though current market resilience is anticipated.

The sale’s allocation to ecosystem projects may lead to indirect benefits on projects receiving grants. However, no direct immediate impact on other cryptocurrencies is noted.

Historically, EF’s treasury activities have aligned with market trends, and this sale parallels its commitment to ecosystem growth. The updated treasury strategy may also serve as a blueprint for other cryptocurrency organizations navigating similar fiscal policies.
