On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the Ethereum digital asset treasury (DAT) dipped to ‘bearish’ from ‘neutral’ territory, and chatter fell to ‘low’ from ‘neutral’ levels.&nbsp;“In the past week, we acquired 101,901 ETH, which is the highest pace of buys since the week of December 15, 2025," Lee said.

Instead of periodically selling large amounts of Ethereum to cover operational costs, research grants and developer salaries it would not stake its ETH for returns.The Foundation’s share of Ethereum’s total supply has steadily declined over the past decade. Following the 2014 ICO, it controlled roughly 9% of all ETH. Today, that figure has dropped to under 0.3%.Earlier this month, the Foundation said it had hit its target of staking roughly 70,000 ETH. It said it would be able to accrue annual revenue of around 1,900 to 2,000 ETH as staking yields of between 2.7% and 3.1%. The “non-dilutive” income is intended to cover most recurrin grants and research costs.However, this doesn’t mean that the Foundation won’t sell any Ethereum at all. Every three months, it reviews its treasury against a target operating buffer and determines how much ETH, if any, needs to be sold to maintain its fiat reserves.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/hood-coin-stocks-gain-despite-fresh-prediction-markets-lawsuit/cZBhRu5RecG">HOOD, COIN Stocks Gain Despite Fresh Lawsuit Calling Prediction Markets A ‘Public Nuisance’ – Challenging CFTC Authority</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

According to Buterin, the proposed upgrades will result in faster finality, higher throughput, and quantum-resistant security.“...Expect to see these changes to be intertwined with a "ship of Theseus" style component-by-component replacement of Ethereum's slot structure and consensus with a cleaner, simpler, quantum-resistant, prover-friendly, end-to-end formally-verified alternative,” he&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/VitalikButerin">wrote</a> in the X post.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/ethereum">Ethereum’s price</a> rose nearly 8% to around $2,000 in the last 24 hours, leading gains among crypto majors and outperforming Bitcoin (BTC).

The first of which is a "fast L1," which targets short slots and finality in seconds. The second is "gigagas L1," which aims to reach a transaction speed of 1 gigagas per second via zkEVMs and real-time proving.&nbsp;The third target is "teragas L2," looking to hit 1 gigabyte per second of data bandwidth, or 10 million transactions per second.
