The Ethereum Foundation announced a plan to sell 10,000 ETH on centralized exchanges as part of its funding strategy for the ecosystem.
Plan to Sell 10,000 ETH
The Ethereum Foundation revealed intentions to sell 10,000 ETH on centralized exchanges over several weeks. This aligns with the treasury policy updated in June 2025 to fund research and development grants.

Short-Term Volatility and Market Absorption
Previous foundation sales have exhibited the potential for short-term volatility. Some analysts suggest institutional purchases, such as Yunfeng Financial's recent acquisition of ETH, may absorb market supply effectively. Historical patterns indicate foundation activities can influence Ethereum’s market sentiment. The announcement does not suggest any fresh regulatory concerns, according to U.S. SEC and CFTC.
Historical Impact of ETH Sales on the Market
In December 2020, the Ethereum Foundation sold 100,000 ETH before witnessing price appreciation in subsequent months. Such activity underscores the impact of foundation movements on market confidence. Experts note these token sales traditionally correspond to neutral-to-positive outcomes for the ecosystem, ensuring sustained development progress.
The announcement of the sale of 10,000 ETH highlights the foundation's activity in supporting the Ethereum ecosystem, with possible implications for the market in both short and long terms.
