Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated in a post on X: I am very supportive of engaging with funds, institutions, and countries, and support the willingness to discuss ETH as an asset. As an asset, ETH is an important part of the Ethereum social organism.
However, I don't think that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) necessarily has to be the best role for accomplishing these things. The world is big and so is Ethereum; a more effective way would be to support various local organizations (including large corporations), because they have a deeper understanding of their own local environment.
