After nearly four years of silence, is the Ethereum official account finally going to do something?
Original Article Title: Ethereum Accounts to Post on Social Media More After Criticism

After Ethereum community members criticized the network for lacking online marketing (especially on X platform), the Ethereum Foundation (EF), a nonprofit organization supporting the Ethereum ecosystem, announced a new strategy focused on the network's "social aspect." This adjustment aims to optimize the communication channels and enhance the transparency of ecosystem information. This article will detail the specifics of this strategic adjustment, the background factors, the market environment, and the community response.
Dual-Account Strategy Deployment
Earlier on Monday, the Ethereum Foundation not only launched a new X platform account, Ethereum Foundation but also tweeted through the Ethereum.org account, which posts less original content, under the username "helloworldcomputer." According to the official announcement:
· The Ethereum Foundation will mainly be responsible for sharing foundation team updates, project progress, funding information, and treasury changes;
· The Ethereum.org account will serve as a more active comprehensive account, dedicated to sharing the latest developments across the ecosystem, including excellent projects on Ethereum, builder stories, and global adoption.
It is worth noting that these changes are not limited to the X platform but will also be implemented simultaneously on other social networking platforms such as Farcaster, Lens, and Bluesky. The EF emphasizes that this is just the beginning of the adjustment, and the use of social media will continue to be optimized according to the needs of the ecosystem.
In response to this, Joseph Schiarizzi, representative of Arbitrum and founder of the stablecoin provider Nerite, stated: "As builders in the Ethereum community, we have always hoped to see more active social accounts highlighting exciting things happening in the ecosystem. I look forward to the upcoming changes."
Community Feedback
The announcement of this new social strategy stems from a recent debate among key ETH figures earlier this year regarding the halt of the "Week in Ethereum" newsletter. WiE newsletter author Evan Van Ness and the Ethereum Foundation's Josh Stark debated whether the EF funded the newsletter and why it was discontinued. This sparked a multi-day discussion, with many community members expressing dissatisfaction with the foundation's lack of marketing prowess and social media activity.

A user on X bluntly stated: "The Ethereum Foundation's weak performance in public relations and narrative is a potential threat to the entire ecosystem, and the Foundation has a responsibility to change this situation." Data shows that since June 2021, Ethereum.org has only posted 14 original tweets, with none in 2023.

Additionally, Boost VC investor Mark Beylin pointed out on the forum that Ethereum's social layer faces issues of "factionalism" and suggested that the EF improve its external communication methods. Ethereum developer Tim Beiko also called for strengthening social media as a "digital public square" to more effectively address community needs.
Market Performance and Fund Flows
Beyond social media strategy, Ethereum's market performance and the Foundation's fund management have also come under widespread scrutiny. In 2024, both Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) hit all-time highs, while the ETH price has not been able to return to its peak of $4878. In the last 30 days, the ETH price has dropped by 18.7%, currently hovering just above $3100.
Meanwhile, on-chain data shows that on January 8, the EF sold 100 ETH, worth approximately $336,000. Since January 2, the Foundation has sold nearly $13 million worth of ETH. Community members expressed dissatisfaction with the Foundation's actions, believing that while selling ETH, it failed to effectively promote ecosystem innovation through social media.
Whether the Ethereum Foundation's new social media strategy can successfully improve its interaction with the community, enhance Ethereum's global influence, remains to be seen. However, this reform at least indicates that the Foundation has begun to take seriously the criticism of its marketing deficiencies and is moving towards a more transparent and efficient direction.

In June, Bloomberg reported that despite Bitcoin falling below $60,000 last week, wiping out about $235 billion in market value within seven days, and dropping close to 50% from last year’s peak, some core businesses in the crypto industry are still expanding, mainly in stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization (RWA), payments, and infrastructure. The report also noted that overall altcoin activity has contracted significantly: altcoin market capitalization has fallen from a peak of about $431 billion in November 2021 to around $170 billion, and among the tens of millions of tokens issued in recent years, fewer than 1,700 still maintain meaningful trading activity.

Japan to Assess a Framework for Yen Stablecoins and Crypto ETFs as Asia’s Compliant Payments Narrative Heats Up
Recently, according to the original report, Japan is considering the launch of yen stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs. Public information remains limited at this stage, and there is still no complete policy text, regulatory draft, or clear implementation timeline, so this is better characterized as a “policy discussion” rather than formal implementation. The original wording also noted that advancing stablecoin regulation in Asia is driving XRP usage and supporting growth in the XRPL ecosystem. However, based on currently available public information, there is not enough evidence to directly establish a clear causal relationship between this round of discussion in Japan and XRP or XRPL.

ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately
On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
