Ethereum Foundation (EF), a non-profit organization that is the most widely used blockchain hub in the world, has staked nearly US$100 million in ETH over the past 24 hours. This move marks a shift from the old EF practice that has often been controversial, which is selling their native tokens to fund the organization’s operations. Ethereum Foundation Could Earn Up to US$4 Million in Annual Returns On-chain data confirms that on April 3, the foundation deposited approximately 45.034 ETH—worth about US$93 million—into the Ethereum Beacon deposit contract. According to data from Arkham Intelligence, the funds were transferred from the EF Treasury Multisig wallet in several systematic batches, each totaling 2,047 ETH. This follows a smaller deposit of 22,500 ETH earlier this week. With this move, the foundation’s total staked balance now stands at 69,500 ETH, or about US$143 million. For nearly a decade, the foundation’s treasury management has often been a subject of market speculation. Typically, the organization has used periodic ETH sales to fund annual budgets, research grants, and ecosystem development. These ETH sales often occur when market prices are high, leading some traders to interpret “dump” actions by the foundation as a strong signal that the price has reached a local peak. As a result, this practice has led to accusations that protocol leaders lack long-term confidence. This shift to staking positions the foundation as a major participant in their own economic ecosystem. By acting as a validator rather than just a seller, the organization transforms their ETH treasury worth US$430 million into a productive, perpetual fund that generates yields. With current institutional staking yields estimated at around 2.7%, the foundation’s staked holdings could potentially generate recurring annual income of about US$4 million. However, this move also exposes the foundation to operational risks and potential “slashing,” similar to other network participants. At the same time, this new strategy reflects a growing trend among institutional holders. Some companies like BitMine have been staking millions of tokens over the past year, and now a total of 38.5 million ETH—or about 30% of the circulating supply—has been locked up to secure the network.

【$SIREN Signal】Pullback to go long / Consolidation after a strong breakout on the 1H timeframe $SIREN 1H timeframe：After a violent surge, the price has already pushed up to above the upper Bollinger Band, and the RSI has skyrocketed to 75.55, with short-term momentum overheating. The 4-hour timeframe is also holding above the upper band, but the MACD histogram bars are still expanding, indicating that the bullish trend has not ended. The current price is around 0.313. It has moved far away from the 1-hour moving average support, so chasing high has a very poor risk-reward ratio. 🎯 Direction: Wait and see (place a buy limit order on a pullback) ⚡ Entry/Order: Place orders in batches within the 0.2166 - 0.2267 range 🛑 Stop loss: Above 0.2267 🚀 Target 1: 0.1763 🚀 Target 2: 0.1561 🛡️ Trade management: - Execution strategy: After the order is filled, if the price rebounds to around Target 1, reduce the position by half, and move the remaining stop loss up to the entry price. If the price cannot reach the placed order and instead surges, abandon this trade and never chase high. Order book data shows the buy-side depth is still decent, but sell pressure starts building up above 0.311. Open interest remains stable, the funding rate is slightly positive, and there are no signs of an extreme short squeeze. This rapid rally has consumed a large amount of buying power. It needs a healthy pullback to digest the floating positions and test the support below. The 1-hour EMA20 is around 0.2177, which highly overlaps with the recommended entry zone and forms a potential bullish defense line. Psychologically, the first deep pullback after a sharp jump is often a good second “get in” opportunity.
