Ethereum Foundation to Stake 70,000 ETH for Native Yield

Vitalik Buterin has been moving Ether into stablecoins again. According to on- 
chain data, wallets linked to him carried out a series of swaps on CoW Swap, 
sending more than 3,100 ETH into stable assets in recent days. Related

Arkham Intelligence flagged the activity, which lowered his visible balance to 
just above 224,000 ETH — still a very large holding. Latest Moves And What 
They Mean The numbers deserve context. A $6 million set of sales is small 
compared with a multi-hundred-million-dollar stake. Some of the transfers were 
public and routine. Reports say parts of earlier moves — about $29 million 
worth — had clear funding purposes. At least $2.3 million of that was used to 
back projects tied to the foundation’s work. That is a normal use of a 
treasury when teams need cash for development and grants. Funding And 
Foundation Plans The sale sequence also fits into a broader plan that was 
mentioned publicly weeks ago. Buterin signaled that roughly $44.7 million 
might be offloaded over time while the Ethereum Foundation tightens spending 
and adopts a more frugal stance. That mild austerity is meant to stretch funds 
and keep core programs running. Moving assets into stablecoins can be a 
defensive step: it reduces exposure to price swings while preserving buying 
power for future spending. Market Reaction And Price Pressure Still, markets 
are fragile. ETH has fallen, trading under $1,900 and hitting two-week lows in 
the recent session. The token is down sharply over the past month, and that 
drop amplifies any news about big holders selling. Prediction markets even 
assign a high chance that ETH falls to $1,500 before climbing back to $3,000. 
Traders react to signals; founder moves are a signal. That does not 
automatically mean the founder is abandoning the project, but it does feed 
short-term anxiety. Related Reading: XRP Fell Nearly 70% — Could History

Buterin has been outspoken about technical direction. He argued the mainnet 
needs a rethink of how it works with layer-two rollups, and he backed an 
upgrade aimed at strengthening censorship resistance. Featured image from
