The Ethereum Foundation sold 20,000 ETH ($120 million at $6,000) in 2025, sparking debate. Historically, such sales fund operations—2024’s $100 million sale covered dev grants. With 0.54% inflation and low fees post-Dencun, per CryptoSlate, the Foundation’s $500 million budget may need $150 million annually, justifying the sale. However, ETH’s 10% price dip to $5,700 post-sale fuels bearish sentiment, as whale accumulation slows, per CryptoBriefing. The sale represents 0.06% of staked ETH (31 million), unlikely to cause major pressure. ETH may stabilize at $6,000 by Q3 if L2 adoption grows, but a 5% further drop could occur if market fears persist. This seems operational, not bearish, though timing may signal caution amid Ethereum’s revenue challenges.
