#Ethereum Foundation Explores New Staking Solutions#

The Ethereum Foundation's recent continuous selling of ETH has sparked widespread attention and controversy within the community. Addressing this issue, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin explained on social media that the foundation's decision not to stake ETH and instead continue selling is mainly driven by two concerns: regulatory issues and concerns about the foundation's own staking forcing them to take a stance in any future contentious hard forks. However, Vitalik also mentioned that regulatory factors are currently less than before and the second concern can be minimized, and they have been exploring these methods recently.At the same time, Vitalik also made it clear that he personally opposes staking through service providers for the Ethereum Foundation, advocating for independent staking instead. He believes the Ethereum Foundation should set an example by supporting independent staking.Furthermore, Ethereum community member fishbiscuit also tweeted in response to the community's questioning of the foundation, clarifying issues such as the foundation's on-chain usage and ETH selling. He urged the community to view the foundation's contributions rationally and encouraged more constructive discussions.Overall, the Ethereum Foundation is currently exploring new staking options to find the optimal solution in balancing market pressure, addressing regulatory issues, and maintaining neutrality.
