The U.S. added an estimated 178,000 jobs in March, rebounding from unexpectedly large job losses in February, according to data released Friday morning. March’s gains were about three times what economists expected, and the unemployment rate edged down to 4.3%. Why the March jobs report matters Market watchers generally viewed…
On Friday, April 3, the Ethereum Foundation staked more than 45,000 Ether (ETH) on the Ethereum smart contract platform, bringing its total amount of ETH locked to roughly 69,500 coins—about 500 ETH short of its stated goal of 70,000 staked ETH.
Data from Arkham Intelligence shows the foundation continued staking through a series of transactions totaling 45,000 ETH. Each transaction consisted of 2,047 ETH, moving the foundation closer to its target on Friday.
The Ethereum Foundation also outlined its approach in a “fresh treasury policy,” stating: “We have, for a long time, simply held ETH, but are now increasingly moving into staking and DeFi, both to enhance financial sustainability and to support a key application category that is delivering on the promise of permissionless secure access to base civilizational infrastructure for millions of people today.”
Earlier staking actions cited in the report include 2,016 ETH in February (worth approximately $4.1 million) and 22,517 ETH in March (valued at about $46.1 million). Arkham Intelligence data further indicates the foundation has locked more than $143 million in ETH in the Ethereum Beacon Deposit Contract to date.
Under its updated strategy, the Ethereum Foundation said it would periodically sell Ether to cover deviations between the treasury’s fiat-denominated assets and its “Opex Buffer.” The report notes that the organization recently completed a 5,000 ETH sale in an over-the-counter deal.
However, the article suggests the foundation may be adjusting its approach by locking more ETH to generate yield rather than selling to cover expenses, following pressure from the Ethereum community.
The report also highlights ongoing concerns about ETH’s market performance. ETH is currently 60% below its all-time high price of $4,946 reached in August 2025.
As of the time of writing, ETH was trading just above $2,000 with no significant change over the past 24 hours. CoinGecko data cited in the article shows the altcoin is up more than 2% over the last seven days.
In brief\n\nBitcoin dropped to about $93,000, falling back below the EMA50 and putting its recent golden cross at risk of invalidation. The global crypto market cap stands at $3.15 trillion, down 2.38% in 24 hours. On Myriad Markets, 82% of the money is betting on Bitcoin pumping to $100K before…
