Ethereum Foundation, Nag-stake ng ₱8.65 Bilyon ($143 Milyon); Naabot ang Target na 69,500 ETH

Naglagak ang Ethereum Foundation ng 45,000 ETH sa staking nitong Biyernes sa isang serye ng mga transaksyon na nagkakahalaga ng ₱5.57 bilyon ($92.2 milyon), ayon sa data mula sa Arkham Intelligence. Ang nasabing paglipat sa loob lamang ng isang araw ay nagdala sa kabuuang staked holdings ng Foundation sa 69,500 ETH — 500 ETH na lamang ang kulang para maabot ang 70,000 target na inilabas nito noong Pebrero. Ang mga transaksyon ay sumunod sa pattern ng pagdedeposito ng tig-2,047 ETH sa Ethereum Beacon Deposit Contract, na nag-lock sa kabuuang ₱8.65 bilyon ($143 milyon) na halaga ng ETH sa lahat ng staking activity nito simula noong Pebrero.

Malaking tactical shift ito para sa Foundation. After mag-stake lang ng 2,016 ETH worth ₱247.89 milyon ($4.1 milyon) noong February at 22,517 ETH worth ₱2.79 bilyon ($46.1 milyon) noong March, ang Friday deployment accounted for almost two-thirds ng total push toward the 70,000 goal. Nag-announce ang Foundation ng revamped treasury strategy noong June, saying na lilipat na sila sa staking at DeFi para enhance financial sustainability at suportahan ang permissionless infrastructure.

Nag-flag si Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin ng governance risks noong January, warning na ang staking ng Foundation de facto forces them to take a position on any future contentious hard fork. Sinabi ni Buterin na nag-explore ang Foundation ng ways to mitigate centralization risks posed by staking activities nila during potential network splits. Tuloy pa rin naman ang Foundation habang umiiwas na rin sa periodic open-market ETH sales na kumain ng sustained community criticism, conducting two recent over-the-counter sales — 10,000 ETH to SharpLink Gaming noong July at 5,000 ETH to BitMine Immersion Technologies worth $10.2 milyon.

Hawak pa rin ng Foundation ang $303 milyon in undeployed ETH reserves after the staking event. Analysts viewed the staking activity as a strong insider signal, noting na ang belief ng Foundation in holding ETH over selling amid market downturns sent a message about where leadership sees value, with the Foundation now controlling 69,500 ETH locked in the Beacon Deposit Contract as of April 2026.
