Vitalik Buterin Rejects Calls for Ethereum Foundation to…
Summary
Vitalik Buterin rejects calls for the Ethereum Foundation to defend ETH’s price or act as a central manager of the ecosystem. He and the Foundation will prioritize censorship resistance, open-source development, long-range research, cybersecurity, and decentralization rather than market management or aggressive marketing. ETH is trading around $2,094—over 50% below its August 2025 high—heightening investor pressure after large holder sales and departures from the Foundation. The Foundation holds roughly 0.16% of total ETH, unstaked 21,270 ETH from Lido, plans to stretch its treasury and sell less, and chooses protocol longevity over explicit token-price support, which may frustrate investors seeking clearer tokenomics and revenue mechanics.
