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.
