Vitalik: The Ethereum Foundation will "scale down" and reduce the amount of ETH sold.

CoinFeed reported on May 25th that, according to The Block, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a lengthy post on the X platform, responding to the recent turmoil and wave of researcher departures at the Ethereum Foundation. Buterin stated that the foundation is choosing "long-term survival over being big and all-encompassing," reducing ETH sales and focusing on Ethereum's CROPS attributes such as censorship resistance, open source, privacy, and security. He emphasized that the post represents only his personal opinion, and that his power within the organization will continue to decrease, which aligns with his wishes. Buterin believes that EF should be understood as "a node with a clear purpose, standing alongside other nodes," rather than the center of Ethereum. Buterin pointed out that the foundation holds approximately 0.16% of ETH, while other blockchain foundations typically hold 10% to 50% of their own token supply.
