The Ethereum Foundation has seen a wave of senior departures in 2026, sparking community frustration over its focus away from ETH's market value. In response, a proposal emerged to create a new independent organization with at least $1 billion in funding dedicated to improving Ethereum's price and competitive position.

While this could strengthen ETH's market stance, it risks creating competing power centers within the ecosystem.
