On July 11, 2025, the Ethereum Foundation conducted a significant sale of 1,210 ETH through Uniswap V4. This operation marks the final phase of a strategic process involving 21,000 ETH.
Asset Management Process
The Ethereum Foundation sold 1,210 ETH at an average price of $2,889.50, totaling approximately $3.5 million. Over the past month, 21,000 ETH were accumulated in a multi-signature wallet, after which 7,000 ETH were transferred to a second address to prepare for the current sale. The transaction was executed in the Uniswap V4 pool, noted for its speed and transparency.
Market Reaction and Whale Activity
During the sale, ETH prices briefly reached $3,000 before finding support at $2,750. At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $3,005. Simultaneously, institutional and whale wallets accumulated $358 million worth of ETH in the past 24 hours, indicating strong interest from institutional players.
Impact on the Ethereum Ecosystem
The total value locked (TVL) within the Ethereum network increased from $50 billion to $73 billion over three months. Meanwhile, transaction fees decreased by 22%, resulting in less ETH being burnt. The slower reduction of circulating ETH supply was one of the reasons for today's sale, allowing the generation of liquid resources to cover operational expenses.
This sale demonstrates the Ethereum Foundation's commitment to balanced treasury management and supporting ecosystem development while maintaining transparent budgeting practices.
