It’s Feb 25, 2026, and the Ethereum Foundation is doubling down on its roots. #EthereumFoundationAdvancesDeFipunk is the signal that we are moving past "Corporate DeFi." The EF has officially formed a dedicated unit to support finance that is permissionless, privacy-first, and censorship-resistant. The Power Players: 🧠 Charles St. Louis & Ivan (ivangbi) are now leading the charge. 🤖 The Vision: User-controlled AI, private ZK-lending, and on-chain high-speed futures. 🛡️ The Standard: If it can be censored or permissioned, it’s not "DeFipunk." The Price Reality: ETH is currently battling at $1,815. The bears are pointing at the Foundation's "mild austerity" and the recent dip. But the bulls? We see Vitalik committing 16,384 ETH of his own wealth to build the hardware and software that secures our future. My Take: In the #YearOfTheHorse, we value endurance. While the market flushes out the weak, the EF is building the infrastructure for the next 10 years. I’m not selling my $ETH to people who don't understand the "DeFipunk" vision. 🐎💎 Are you here for the yield, or are you here for the revolution? #Ethereum #GateSquare #CryptoNews2026
