The price of Ethereum is back in focus after the Ethereum Foundation shared a new leadership vision. Vitalik Buterin and other top figures revealed structural changes aimed at securing the network’s future. The updates come at a time when the Ethereum price shows signs of bullish consolidation.
Ethereum Foundation Announces New Leadership Strategy
On April 28, 2025, the Ethereum Foundation announced changes to its leadership structure. Aya Miyaguchi, who had served as Executive Director, was appointed President of the Foundation. Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz K. Stańczak were named as Co-Executive Directors.

The decision follows community calls for more transparency and decisive technical leadership. The Foundation said that the new leadership would focus on strengthening Ethereum’s main net and improving Layer 2 solutions. They emphasized that decentralization remains a priority.
Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, spoke earlier this year about the need for leadership reforms. The Foundation stated it aims to act as a steward rather than a central authority. The organization aims to help developers build and grow while preserving the network’s core values.
ETH Price Movement After the Foundation Vision
Following the announcement, the Ethereum price showed mixed reactions. According to CoinMarketCap, the Ethereum price traded at $1,782.59, down 1.82% in the past 24 hours. The price movement suggests caution among investors despite the leadership update.
Historically, May has been a strong month for ETH price growth. Past data shows that increased network activity often leads to a 30% rally. Analysts are observing the market to see whether this historical trend will continue.
New Proposal and Upcoming Upgrades Could Shape Ethereum Price
Technical innovations support the mission of the Ethereum Foundation. EIP 9698 functions as a new Ethereum Improvement Proposal that attempts to enhance the network’s gas limit. Through this change, Ethereum will achieve network efficiency by processing up to 2,000 transactions per second.
The proposed modification of the Ethereum blockchain holds potential to boost its competition against rival networks. The adoption of this proposal will likely stimulate both user-positive feelings and long-term increases in Ethereum price values. Additional technical assessments, together with community support determine future developments in this process.
Members of the Ethereum community are working towards implementing the Pectra upgrade during May 2025. The network performance, along with scalability, receives emphasis as a part of the Dencun update which serves as the foundation for this improvement. Market confidence might be affected by the final results of upcoming system changes.
Broader ETH Ecosystem Benefits Under New Leadership
The leadership transition aims to support more than just price stability. The Foundation aims to improve developer tools and increase integration between Layer 2 and enhance user experience based on their statements.
The Foundation aims to promote wider adoption through its initiatives for bringing Ethereum closer to general accessibility and efficiency. The better infrastructure would enable developers worldwide to produce more Ethereum applications through their development platforms.
