Ethereum Foundation to Sell 10,000 ETH to Boost Ecosystem Funding

The Ethereum Foundation has announced plans to gradually sell 10,000 ETH over the coming weeks to raise funds for ecosystem support.

As a core institution within the Ethereum ecosystem, the foundation will convert approximately $43 million worth of ETH to finance research, development, grant programs, and donations. The organization emphasized that sales will be executed in smaller orders rather than a single large transaction to minimize potential market volatility.

In line with its treasury policy introduced in June, the foundation limits annual operational spending to 15% and focuses on building long-term reserve buffers. Under this policy, ETH sales are triggered if fiat holdings fall below targeted operational thresholds.

Back in July, the foundation sold 10,000 ETH directly to a publicly listed company, a move that drew significant attention. The newly announced sales plan is seen as a continuation of that step, underscoring the foundation’s strategy to balance financial discipline with ecosystem support.
