The Ethereum Foundation has sold 20,000 ETH over the past week through over-the-counter (OTC) deals, as part of a strategic treasury management initiative. The latest sale of 10,000 ETH was executed at an average price of $2,292.15 with BitMNR, following a similar transaction on April 24 at approximately $2,387. These sales, totaling over $45 million, were conducted to avoid direct market impact.

Despite the ETH sales, the Foundation maintains a substantial treasury, including 82,500 ETH, $23 million in USDC, and $9 million in DAI, highlighting a diversified approach to asset management.
