The post Ethereum Foundation Converts $4.5M ETH to Stablecoins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Ethereum Foundation (EF) announced plans to convert 1,000 Ether (ETH) into stablecoins to finance research, grants and donations, aligning with its broader treasury strategy and involvement in funding decentralized finance (DeFi) initiatives.  The sale, worth approximately $4.5 million at current prices, was executed via CoW Swap, a decentralized trading protocol that aggregates liquidity across multiple exchanges to offer users competitive prices without relying on a centralized intermediary. Neither the foundation’s announcement nor its treasury policy specified which stablecoins it would receive in exchange for the ETH. Source: Ethereum Foundation This latest conversion follows EF’s earlier disclosure in September that it planned to convert 10,000 ETH into stablecoins over several weeks. However, Friday’s transaction appears to be separate from that initiative, given its smaller scale and use of CoW Swap rather than a centralized exchange. According to the Ethereum Foundation Treasury Policy, EF seeks to “balance between seeking returns above a benchmark rate and extending EF’s role as a steward of the Ethereum ecosystem, with a particular focus on DeFi.” The increased use of stablecoins also comes as EF temporarily paused open grant submissions to its Ecosystem Support Program, citing an influx of applications. The foundation said it will instead prioritize funding for the network’s most pressing needs. In April, EF also announced a leadership restructuring to improve strategic and operational management. The foundation appointed Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz K. Stańczak as co-executive directors, both of whom previously held roles within EF. In June, the foundation laid off staff and restructured its core development team.
