Vitalik Buterin Outlines Ethereum Foundation Restructuring to Reduce ETH Selling Pressure

Vitalik Buterin has shared his perspective on the direction of the Ethereum Foundation, signaling an operational restructuring aimed at curbing the Foundation's ETH sales. In a post on X, Buterin was careful to note that his views are his own and that the board is a collective body — he holds no special authority over other members.

The transition is being executed largely by Aya Miyaguchi's successor in operations, with Buterin positioning the changes as a structural shift rather than a top-down directive. For ETH holders, the signal matters: sustained Foundation selling has historically weighed on sentiment, and any credible move to reduce that overhang is a meaningful development to track.

The specifics of the restructuring remain sparse at this stage, but the public framing from Buterin himself lends the announcement weight that a routine Foundation update would not carry.
