Ethereum Foundation just laid off 20%! 54 people packed up and left, budget slashed by 40%. You heard it right, this isn't some startup, it's the Ethereum Foundation.
Let me be real: this is the standard script for a bear market. The foundation is out of cash—ETH holdings down to 209 million, the lowest in nearly 6 years.
What stings even more is that ETH spot ETFs have seen capital outflows for four consecutive days, with over $82 million leaving just yesterday. Institutional patience is wearing thin. Ethereum's in a tight spot: trying to be the world computer while L2 solutions are siphoning off mainnet transaction volume; aiming for value storage but BTC ETFs are miles ahead; and trying to build a DeFi ecosystem, while Solana's SpaceX tokenized stock trading holds 98% market share.
But I'm not entirely bearish. The layoffs at the foundation could be a good thing—way too bloated, it was high time for a trim. Vitalik has clarified five clusters, at least that's better than the previous muddle.
BTC isn't looking much better, sitting at 62582, down 4.4% over the last week. Wintermute suggests it might dip to 59000 in the short term; liquidity is just lacking this summer. BlackRock is still touting a 1%-2% allocation—institutions talk a big game about buying, but their wallets are waiting for lower prices.
Tonight's eyes are on the US stock market. Micron, Nvidia, PCE data. The crypto market doesn’t have much of a story on its own; it's just riding the macro waves. Don't get too caught up.
