Ethereum Foundation wants to sell 10,000 ETH: $ 43 million for cash reserves

September is historically known as a difficult month for the financial markets. Exactly in this period, the Ethereum Foundation, the non-profit organization behind the Ethereum (ETH) network, surprises plans for a large-scale sale. The announcement immediately evokes division within the community.

Ethereum Foundation reinforces Kas by $ 43m

Today the Ethereum Foundation announced that it wants to sell 10,000 ETH, worth around 43 million dollars. The non-profit organization emphasizes that the sale will not take place in one go. Instead, the transaction is split into several smaller orders, spread over a few weeks.

The striking thing is that the sale does not take place directly between two parties, via so-called over-the-counter (OTC) transactions, but is carried out via centralized trade fairs. This can cause extra volatility because large transactions are immediately visible in the order books and therefore have a stronger price -pressing effect. Earlier, the Ethereum Foundation sold 10,000 ETH via OTC directly to Sharplinkerer, the second largest public holder of the token.

The sale is in line with the new policy of the non-profit organization, which was introduced in June 2025. Strict guidelines are laid down for expenditure and reserve management. For example, operational costs, such as research and development, are maximized at 15% of the reserves per year. In addition, a multi -year buffer is arrested and a game of fiat money is supplemented through periodic ETH Sales.

Comments from the community

The announcement ensures mixed reactions. Critics wonder whether the foundation still has faith in the long -term success of Ethereum, given the size of the sale. In addition, the awkward timing is pointed out, in September, a weak month for financial markets is traditionally.

Yet analyst Binji points out that the impact will be relatively limited. For example, he states that the sale is “mild” compared to the enormous institutional question: only this week was 403,800 ETH purchased, of which Yunfeng Financial Group added 10,000 ETH and Ether Machine expanded its position to a total of 495,000 ETH, worth nearly 2.13 billion dollars.

Binji also emphasizes that every sale by the Foundation is intended to finance the development of the network: “By funding research and human capacity, Ethereum is eventually becoming more attractive for new projects and users, which is correctly strengthening the value in the long term.”
