Last week, the cryptocurrency market saw a wave of growth, stimulated by the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Powell's comments on interest rate cuts. At that time, the Ethereum Foundation (EF), known as the "Master of Escaping the Peak", deposited another 35,000 ETH (worth nearly $100 million) into an exchange on August 24.
This behavior involving the sale of such a large amount of ETH has raised concerns...

Where does the $100 million the Ethereum Foundation burns every year go? Expenditure transparency has been questioned, and there is a risk that everything will be left empty within 8 years

The Daily Gwei founder Anthony Sassano (@sassal0x) posted on X stating: "As others in the industry have pointed out, the Ethereum Foundation (EF) is one of the best-managed entities in the crypto ecosystem and one of the most legitimate institutions. I understand people want more transparency around where the funds are going (I do too), but this money is not being spent on frivolous things - it is being used to further manage the development of the Ethereum ecosystem and to fund many critical projects that would otherwise receive no funding (due to misaligned incentives). Let's continue to push the EF to be more transparent, but let's do so in a constructive way that benefits the ecosystem - because demonizing the EF for spending $100 million per year (which is absolutely trivial relative to Ethereum's market cap) is 'unproductive'." Previously, in response to Ethereum Foundation Executive Director Aya Miyaguchi stating the foundation's annual budget is $100 million, former Ethereum Foundation employee Hudson Jameson posted on X platform that the foundation's annual budget of around $100 million is not crazy, and the reason people have a hard time understanding this number is that the foundation's structure and philosophy do not lend themselves to putting everything they are involved in and working on in one place.

Opinion: Ethereum Foundation’s annual budget of $100 million is “insignificant” compared to the market value of ETFs

If you want to provide longer-term financial support for operations, either the ETH price needs to rise, or you need to start staking to earn income.
