Summary

The Ethereum Foundation said via its official X account that it deployed another 3,400 ETH into Morpho vaults, reinforcing its shift toward active, on-chain DeFi treasury management rather than selling ETH to cover operations. Existing topic information indicates the allocation includes 1,000 ETH to Morpho Vaults V2, after the foundation had previously deployed 2,400 ETH and $6 million in stablecoins to Morpho Vaults V1 in October. The move highlights the foundation’s continued use of decentralized finance tools to manage treasury assets on-chain.
