I've been keeping an eye on on-chain data lately and noticed something interesting: the Ethereum Foundation is still selling ETH, but their strategy has changed.



Previously, there would be large transfers of thousands of ETH at a time, but now they've gotten smarter? They only move a few dozen each day, which seems much more "gentle." But here's the question—does ETH development really burn through money at this rate? If this pace keeps up, the total amount isn't small.

Honestly, it's hard not to wonder: where do all these coins ultimately go? Are they fully invested in ecosystem development, or do some end up in certain wallets for discretionary use? The transparency of the Foundation's finances has always been a point of contention in the community, and this move makes things even more confusing.

The foundation’s approach this time is so "gentle" that it’s unsettling... moving dozens every day, slowly, actually draws even more attention. No matter how you crunch the numbers, they just don’t add up. If they say development costs are high, just how high would they have to be to burn through this much ETH? What I really want to know is—are they truly spending it on R&D, or is there something else going on? If the foundation actually dared to make their books public, there wouldn’t be so much drama. The change in their selling strategy is suspicious enough on its own. All this money is gone, and anyone who asks about it gets attacked instead—how awkward is that? This tactic from the foundation is basically a self-flattering version of "chronic inflation." The community really needs to keep a close eye on them.

ngl the drip-feed strategy is just obfuscation theater... technically speaking, daily dumps are way harder to track than lump sums. wonder if that's the actual feature here, not a bug.

Moving funds again? Dozens of these in a day, looks like the foundation has started to release funds little by little. Why is it so non-transparent?

Slow and steady wins the race, this operation is indeed a bit interesting. Dozens every day, little by little adds up. Is it really for development and burning money, or is there another motive? The foundation's financial black box really needs to be made more transparent, otherwise how can people feel at ease?
