The Ethereum Foundation is implementing a new treasury policy to ensure financial strength over the next 18 months, tying operational costs to Ether reserves. The foundation currently has 2.5 years of cash left and aims to provide more support to the ecosystem. Quarterly reports on assets and investments will be published for transparency. As of Oct. 31, the foundation’s treasury totaled approximately $970.2 million, with over 81% in ETH. The foundation plans to engage with DeFi protocols to earn returns on treasury assets while supporting “Defipunk principles.” They have already allocated 45,000 ETH to various DeFi projects and borrowed GHO stablecoin from Aave. The foundation has faced criticism for not supporting specific protocols in the past but aims to strengthen its treasury position through DeFi engagement. The Ethereum Foundation has restructured its internal development team, leading to layoffs, amid ETH’s underperformance compared to BTC and SOL. ETH remains 46.5% below its November 2021 peak.
