Ethereum Foundation To Sell 10,000 ETH In Staged Exchange Conversions

Proceeds target research, grants, donations under the foundation’s June treasury policy.

Overview

  • The foundation said it will convert roughly $43 million worth of ETH over the next several weeks through centralized exchanges.
  • Executions will occur as multiple smaller orders to reduce market impact, according to its transparency notice.
  • Blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain reported a 10,000 ETH deposit to Kraken, indicating the selling process has begun.
  • Public wallets still hold about 224,800 ETH, and open grant applications remain paused during a grants overhaul.
  • The plan aligns with June guidance capping annual opex at 15% and maintaining reserve buffers, follows a July 10,000 ETH sale to SharpLink Gaming, and comes as Yunfeng Financial Group and Ether Machine report large ETH purchases.
