🔹 "We plan to become an active player across the Ethereum sphere," Ryan stated, emphasizing a focus on L1, L2, and application-layer innovation.
Ethereum Foundation Faces Overhaul Amid Investor Concerns
📉 Ethereum’s sluggish price performance has led to growing investor frustration, pushing for a new vision for the network.
📉 In January 2025, Vitalik Buterin asserted sole authority over the Ethereum Foundation, warning that community hostility toward the team was driving away top talent.
📉 As part of the restructuring, the Foundation spun off new organizations to handle Ethereum’s long-term development and outreach.
What’s Next for Ethereum?
🔥 Etherealize will now serve as Ethereum’s institutional marketing arm, educating Wall Street firms, hedge funds, and asset managers.
🔥 The Silviculture Society has been launched as an advisory group to uphold Ethereum’s core values of decentralization, privacy, and censorship resistance.
Despite these shifts, Ethereum is still struggling to regain investor confidence, with ETH far from its 2021 all-time high of $4,800. Will Etherealize’s push for institutional adoption be the spark Ethereum needs, or is the network facing an identity crisis?
