Ethereum Foundation Defended Amidst Criticism Over ETH Sales and Unstaking
- Defense of the Foundation: Blockchain researcher William Mougayar defended the Ethereum Foundation against criticism, arguing that critics misinterpret its role, expecting it to function like a marketing team rather than serving the protocol's integrity and long-term vision.
- ETH Sales Overview: The Foundation recently sold 25,000 ETH to BitMine through three OTC deals, including a sale of 10,000 ETH at an average price of $2,292, indicating a strategic focus on funding core operations and ecosystem development.
- Unstaking Controversy: The Foundation unstaked 17,035.326 ETH worth approximately $40 million on April 26 and withdrew another 21,270 ETH from Lido on May 12, raising concerns among market participants about potential sales, although no evidence linked these actions to market transactions.
- Core Role of Research Funding: Mougayar emphasized that the Foundation's mission is to strengthen Ethereum and fund initiatives that may lack support from others, particularly in zero-knowledge research and public infrastructure, suggesting a need for reduced centralization as the network matures.
