A languishing chain appears to have triggered community uproar and a leadership shakeup at the Ethereum Foundation.

Ethereum Foundation's announced restructuring has sparked community debate and led to discussions about creating a second organization, with Lido founder Konstantin Lomashuk emerging as a potential leader despite clarifying that no alternative foundation currently exists.

At a time when the Ethereum Foundation is facing strong criticism for its alleged failure to support its network developers, a new Ethereum-focused startup, Etheralize, which aims to promote Ethereum to institutional investors, has been launched by Vivek Raman, with the support of Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin and the foundation.

Ethereum, the world's second-largest blockchain by market capitalization, has unveiled Etherealize. This initiative aims to accelerate institutional adoption of the Ethereum ecosystem.

Ethereum continues to trade in a narrow range around $3,300 while showing increased trading volume and leverage ratios, setting up conditions for a potential breakout.

Vitalik Buterin and the Ethereum Foundation are reportedly working on a Wall Street makeover of Ethereum, to help the Bitcoin challenger gain institutional recognition. With the successful launch of Bitcoin ETFs, BTC is already becoming Wall Street's favorite.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has recently shared his vision for a new upgrade system aimed at accelerating the network's growth, scalability, and data availability. This proposal, made public through a recent post, highlights the need for quicker updates and more aggressive scaling measures to secure Ethereum's future as a leading blockchain platform.

Etherealize, backed by Vitalik Buterin and the Ethereum Foundation, aims to make Ethereum the top blockchain for Wall Street.

Ethereum has been consolidating in a tight price range for several months, trading between $3,200 and $3,500. Despite the broader market's recent upward movement, ETH still struggles to break out of this range.

The Ethereum blockchain's earnings from fees saw a 3% year-on-year rise from 2023 to 2024 despite the Dencun upgrade early last year, which reduced network fees.

While Bitcoin surged 160% over the past year, Ether only rose 40%. Ethereum faces competition and challenges in regaining momentum.

Ethereum (ETH) whales have caught the attention of the market by accumulating 330,000 ETHworth approximately $1 billionover the past two weeks. Analysts speculate this could signal Ethereums potential to surpass the $5,000 price mark.

Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a remarkable surge in inflows on Monday, recording the highest daily inflow in 30 days, signaling strong institutional interest in the leading smart contract platform. Despite the increasing capital inflows, Ethereum's price remains stagnant, causing some market observers to speculate on potential price movements in the near future.

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a downward trend. As of 8:30 AM on the 23rd, according to TokenPost Market, Bitcoin is trading at $103,882 (approximately 149.13 million KRW), down 1.99% from the previous day.

Given that the asset is on the verge of marking a lower high, XRP's recent bullish rally is about to face a crucial turning point.

Ethereum (ETH) has been underperforming in recent weeks, with its price action leaving investors disappointed following last week's flash crash and heightened volatility. Despite initial hopes for a recovery, ETH has struggled to regain momentum, trending downward since mid-December.

However, Lomashuk clarified that no such entity has been created, and he would share his thoughts on the EF case soon.

A mysterious “Second Foundation” X account sparked debate about the past and future of the EF and the need to compete.

The overall crypto market was experiencing some selling pressure on Wednesday after President Donald Trump's second day in office, which went without the new commander-in-chief mentioning crypto despite the industry's anticipation that he'd establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve on day one.

Lido's Konstantin Lomashuk said "no actual second foundation has been created yet," following rumors of a splinter organization.

New data from crypto analytics platform Arkham reveals that President Donald Trump's decentralized finance (DeFi) platform has become a top 0.1% holder of staked Ethereum (stETH) after gobbling up tens of millions of dollars worth of ETH.

The crypto community is relieved as Trump pardoned Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht. Now, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and others in the ETH community are urging the release of Ethereum developer Virgil Griffith and Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm. As a result, the Ethereum community is now asking for Trump's assistance in this matter.

Konstantin Lomashuk, Lido Finance's co-founder, teased a “Second Foundation” for Ethereum as the community debated ongoing changes to administrative structures.

Bitcoin is consolidating between $100,000 and $109,588, and charts currently indicate a higher chance of an upside breakout.

Vitalik Buterin's recent plans for the Ethereum Foundation have sparked heated debates across the crypto world. From his push for decentralized governance to Justin Sun's bold claims of boosting ETH to $10,000, the future of Ethereum seems to be at a crossroads.

If your founder is not pivoting to a Bronze Age Mindset in 2025 you're NGMI.

In the world of crypto, it is generally expected that innovation and decentralization go hand in hand. However, a recent controversy surrounding the leadership of Ethereum has shaken this ideal.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, recently failed to breach $3,524, triggering a sharp price drop. Since then, recovery efforts have remained weak as volatility persists.

TL;DR Justin Sun proposes halting ETH sales for three years, funding operations through DeFi activities like lending, staking, and stablecoin generation on platforms like Aave. Taxes on Layer 2 projects could generate $5 billion annually for ETH buybacks and reduce its supply, strengthening its position as a deflationary asset.

Here are the odds of ETH short-term recovery amid abating selling pressure.

Following Donald Trump's inauguration as the 47th president of the United States, his company, World Liberty Financial, has dramatically increased its exposure to Ethereum (ETH) in just the past 24 hours.

The year 2024 was one of mixed results for Ethereum (ETH), given the fall in the Ethereum price between August and November 2024. Despite its recovery in the final months of the year, Ethereum paled in comparison with other altcoins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP.

TRON founder Justin Sun has offered a hypothetical plan for Ethereum and the Ethereum Foundation (EF) under his leadership. His remarks come amid controversy over EF's leadership transformation.

"The person deciding the new EF leadership team is me," ethereum's co-founder Vitalik Buterin said amid some crypto drama as ethereum's price keeps lagging behind bitcoin.
