#ETHFORHOLDERS The Ethereum Foundation has been catching flak for just selling ETH to pay the bills instead of exploring staking or DeFi. Now, according to Vitalik Buterin, the foundation is indeed looking into these options, including the possibility of staking approximately $1 billion in ETH holdings.

Backlash against Ethereum Foundation has intensified over the past few days due to its lack of engagement in the Ethereum ecosystem and ETH sales.

Lookonchain reported that the Ethereum Foundation offloaded another 100 ETH on Monday for about $336,000. The ETH sales, since January 2, 2024, have amounted to $13 million, or 4,666 ETH.

DCinvestor, a strong advocate for the ecosystem, said Trump-backed World Liberty Financial is “more aligned with the success of Ethereum-based DeFi than the Ethereum Foundation is.”
