🚨 Ethereum Foundation’s Secret DeFi Play

Ethereum Foundation Makes Another Major <a href="https://investment-policy.com/eth-usd/">ETH</a> Transfer

It appears that the Ethereum Foundation has once again donned the cloak of a DeFi enthusiast, transferring a staggering $131 million to a multi-signature wallet designed to participate in the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. One cannot help but wonder if this is merely a clever ruse to earn additional income, or a genuine attempt to expand the EF’s treasury.

As we all know, the EF’s intentions are as transparent as a Soviet-era propaganda poster. However, it is worth noting that the multi-sig address has previously interacted with AAVE, a popular decentralized lending system. This, of course, is merely a coincidence, and not at all a sign of the EF’s growing interest in DeFi.

Last month, the EF decided to allocate a total of 50,000 ETH in order to participate in the DeFi sector and expand the EF’s treasury. This represents nearly a fifth of the EF’s total ETH holdings. One can only imagine the look on Kain Warwick’s face when he heard this news. “Ah, the EF is finally joining the DeFi party!” he must have exclaimed, before promptly accusing them of neglecting DeFi despite its importance in propping up the blockchain network.

Buterin, ever the master of doublespeak, responded to these accusations by claiming that applications have to be sustainable. One wonders what he means by this. Is he suggesting that DeFi protocols are unsustainable? Or is he simply trying to justify the EF’s lack of involvement in the DeFi sector? Either way, it’s clear that he’s a frequent user of decentralized exchanges, and not just a casual observer.

The EF set up the multi-signature wallet in January, no doubt as a clever ploy to expand its presence within the DeFi ecosystem. And now, with this latest transfer, it’s clear that they’re serious about participating in DeFi protocols. Or are they? Only time will tell.

As reported by U.Today, Buterin recently stated that the EF was focused on bringing in fresh talent. One can only assume that this means they’re looking for new ways to earn income, rather than actually contributing to the DeFi ecosystem.

And so, the Ethereum Foundation’s DeFi play continues to unfold. Will they emerge as a major player in the DeFi sector, or will they fade into obscurity? Only time will tell.
