The Ethereum Foundation just changed its pitch. A new guide published by the Foundation explicitly repositions Ethereum not as a DeFi platform, not as a token trading layer, but as neutral infrastructure for governments and institutional systems.
On the ETF side, there's a real signal worth watching. Spot Ethereum ETFs broke a nine-day outflow streak and recorded inflows of just under forty-four million dollars over two days.
