The Ethereum Foundation has introduced a new Treasury policy that has been designed to guarantee sustainability in the long term and at the same time support the continuous growth of the ecosystem.
According to a 4 June 2025 rackThe Ethereum Foundation refines its Treasury Management Framework. Central to the new policy is a disciplined approach to asset liability management that balances risks and liquidity to protect financial stability. It offers clear guidelines for token sales, FIAT reserves and strategic investments in the chain, while prioritizing transparency and long-term sustainability.
Although it is historically dependent on keeping ETH, the new strategy will help the basis in following a more active approach to Treasury Management, including regular ETH sales to maintain a Fiat reserve and to expand the use of bets and Defi implementations.
In addition, the foundation will determine its annual operating costs at 15% of its total treasury, with sufficient reserves to cover operations for at least 2.5 years. The decision is driven by the expectation that 2025–26 will be a critical period for the ecosystem and strives for stability during the period.
Comments on the new policy, co-executive director HSiao-Wei Wang expressed That the new approach reflects the long -term mission of the organization.
“The EF is here to stay for a long time and needs a robust long-term treasury management policy,” she said. “It sketches our approach to macro economics, the management of crypto and fiat-mixed assets, and reflects our dedication to transparency.”
The revision of the treasury policy is amid a broader organizational shift within the Ethereum ecosystem, aimed at supporting his ambitious route map.
Ethereum Eyes Major Network Scaling
Co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently announced the mission to scale the Ethereum layer 1 with about ten times within the following year. With a focus on improving sustainability, he emphasized that the upgrade will follow a steady and balanced approach, which improves scalability while maintaining decentralization.
The technical improvements are expected to strengthen the wider ecosystem, in particular by improving the performance and security of Layer 2 solutions, so that they can work more efficiently.
Recent internal changes, including dismissal in core operations and a rebranding of the Research & Development Protocol Division (PR&D), are also part of the latest shifts in the ecosystem, which reflects a broader strategic reset as the network continues.
