How Much Could the Ethereum Foundation Earn If They Staked Their ETH?
The Ethereum Foundation wallet holds about 27k ETH ($45.2M idle). Today it earns $25K/month from DeFi positions.
If that ETH were staked via Lido at 2.4% APY:
- If staked
- $89,858.53/mo
- Yearly
- $1.1M
- Today
- $25K/mo
Ethereum Foundation holds 27k ETH ($45.2M). Staked via Lido → $90K/month. Currently $25K/month.
