Odaily星球日报讯 Su Zhu 于 X 发文表示，尽管以太坊基金会早期在比特币价格从 600 美元跌至 300 美元时出售了筹集的 3 万枚比特币，以太坊仍成为加密领域最成功项目之一。 其补充称，以太坊基金会的问题不在于早期“抛售”，而是当前无法为生态提供连贯路线图和领导。 此前消息，Arkham 于 X 发文表示，以太坊基金会曾于 2021 年 5 月和 11 月在高点卖出 ETH。 但在 2020 年，基金会出售 10 万枚 ETH，之后 ETH 上涨了 6 倍。近日其再度向 Kraken 发送了 3.5 万枚 ETH，价值 9500 万美元。

Odaily reports that Su Zhu posted that although the Ethereum Foundation sold 30,000 bitcoins it had raised when the bitcoin price fell from $600 to $300 in the early days, Ethereum has still become one of the most successful projects in the crypto field. He added that the problem with the Ethereum Foundation is not the early "sell-off", but the current inability to provide a coherent roadmap and leadership for the ecosystem. Previously, Arkham posted that the Ethereum Foundation had sold ETH at the highs in May and November 2021. However, in 2020, the Foundation sold 100,000 ETH, after which ETH rose 6-fold. Recently, it has again sent 35,000 ETH, worth $95 million, to Kraken.

Odaily reported that Arkham published a post stating that the Ethereum Foundation had sold ETH at the highs in May and November 2021. However, in 2020, the Foundation sold 100,000 ETH, after which ETH increased 6-fold. Yesterday, it again sent 35,000 ETH, worth $95 million, to Kraken.

Odaily reported that regarding the Ethereum Foundation's address depositing 35,000 ETH into Kraken, Ethereum Foundation Executive Director Aya Miyaguchi posted on the X platform stating that this is part of their fund management activities. The Ethereum Foundation's annual budget is around $100 million, mainly composed of grants and salaries, and some grant recipients can only accept fiat currency. For a long period this year, they have been told not to conduct any fund activities because the regulations are complex, which has prevented them from sharing their plans in advance. Additionally, Aya Miyaguchi stated that this transaction does not equate to a sale. From now on, they will plan to gradually sell out.

Odaily reports that DeFi researcher Ignas published a post stating that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) holds $845 million worth of ETH, which is 0.25% of the total ETH supply. The EF invested $30 million in grants in the fourth quarter of 2023, while only spending $8.9 million in the third quarter. The EF allocates grants to education and niche (but very cool) products that may not receive significant VC support. This can explain why they are reluctant to fund DeFi protocols, as they can obtain external funding from VCs. However, the EF lacks a comprehensive and transparent report on its total expenditures. The latest report, from 2021, shows that the total expenditure on internal spending and external grants and awards was $48 million. The largest expenses were: $21 million for L1 research and development, $9.7 million for community development, including grants and education, and $5.1 million for internal operations (salaries, legal fees, etc.). Therefore, 10% of the total expenditure in 2021 was used to pay developers' salaries and support the maintenance of the EF. Previously, in response to Aya Miyaguchi, the executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, stating that the foundation has an annual budget of $100 million, former EF employee Hudson Jameson posted on the X platform that the foundation's annual budget of around $100 million is not crazy, and the reason people find it difficult to understand this figure is that the foundation's structure and philosophy do not fit to put every project they are involved in and carry out in one place.
