The Ethereum Foundation sold 10,000 ETH at an average price of $2,292.15 through an over-the-counter transaction, with BitMNR as the counterparty. The Foundation said proceeds will fund core operations and form part of its ongoing treasury management activities.
Why it matters
The Foundation has now executed three consecutive OTC sales. Across the three transactions, it has offloaded a total of 25,000 ETH for approximately $57 million, at a weighted average price of around $2,280 per ETH. Routing sales through a single named counterparty rather than on open exchanges is the structurally relevant detail — it limits market impact but also concentrates execution risk with one desk.
Market impact
Sustained Foundation selling through opaque OTC channels is a quiet but persistent overhang on $ETH, even when individual prints are small relative to daily spot volume. The transparency of a published weighted average price is a partial offset, but the cadence — three sales in a row — is what readers should track going into the next treasury update.
