🔥 Ethereum’s Commemorative NFT Mint Surpasses 780K – A Historic Community Milestone 🧡🖼️

The Ethereum Foundation has officially concluded its commemorative NFT minting event, which ran until July 31, 2025 (24:00 UTC+8). Over 780,000 NFTs were minted across 660,000+ unique wallet addresses, a dramatic rise from just 145,000 holders reported the day prior — highlighting the explosive community participation and Ethereum’s enduring global reach.

🕯️ The Torch NFT: A Symbol of Decentralization

Launched on July 21, the original “Torch” NFT was passed wallet-to-wallet each day by prominent contributors, starting with co-founder Joseph Lubin. This digital relay embodied Ethereum’s decentralized ethos. The torch was ceremonially burned on July 30, commemorating Ethereum’s 10th anniversary since its mainnet launch (July 30, 2015).

🌐 Commemorative NFT: Free, Non-Tradable, Universal

To celebrate, Ethereum offered a free, non-tradable commemorative NFT via its official site on July 30–31, emphasizing accessibility and inclusivity. This drop was not about speculation, but symbolic community ownership, aligning with Ethereum’s values of open participation and user sovereignty.

📈 Market Impact: NFT Revival

The campaign sparked a massive 300% surge in ETH NFT trading volume, reaching $75 million weekly, up from just $18.3 million. While the commemorative NFT wasn’t tradable, it reignited interest in Ethereum-based digital collectibles and signaled a renewed wave of on-chain engagement.

✨ Ethereum’s anniversary was not just a celebration — it was a reminder of what decentralized technology can inspire: shared ownership, creativity, and global connection.#EthereumTurns10 #ETHCorporateReserves
