CoinEx News: Vitalik Buterin said on May 25 that ETH is Ethereum’s most valuable financial product, noting that the network secures about $250 billion of ETH and that nearly 90% of his own net worth is held in ETH. He added that the Ethereum Foundation holds only about 0.16% of total ETH and is choosing “longevity over breadth,” including selling less ETH as it focuses on narrower technical priorities.

The market signal is that ETH’s asset-support role may increasingly shift to ETH-aligned capital and external organizations, while the foundation becomes smaller, more opinionated, and less positioned as Ethereum’s central steward.
