After this round of plunge, Ethereum's growth this year is only 5%, but the Ethereum Foundation has recently sold another 450 ETH, worth about $1.03 million, and Vitalik has also sold 760 ETH in the past week. In the past eight months, the foundation has sold a total of 3,066 ETH on the chain, with a total value of $8.68 million, and an average selling price of $2,830 per ETH.

In this context, the Ethereum Foundation still hired new people at high salaries. Ethereum core developers tweeted early this morning that the Ethereum Foundation protocol support team has hired two new members to be responsible for Ethereum developer plenary meetings, Ethereum protocol funding plans and other matters.
