The Ethereum Foundation has announced a significant shake-up in its leadership ranks, appointing two new co-executive directors as it embarks on a fresh strategic direction. Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak will jointly take the helm of the non-profit that stewards Ethereum’s development, replacing the sole executive role previously held by Aya Miyaguchi.
On the other hand, Miyaguchi, who served as Executive Director for seven years, is transitioning to the newly created position of Foundation President. This interesting change in leadership comes as Ethereum’s price continues to undergo a decline towards the $2,000 mark.
Ethereum’s new leaders bring a blend of deep protocol expertise and industry experience. Hsiao-Wei Wang, a seven-year veteran of the Ethereum Foundation’s research team, was a key contributor to core initiatives like the Ethereum 2.0 beacon chain and sharding research. She also earned respect as a community builder by organizing Ethereum developer events in Taiwan.
Tomasz Stańczak, meanwhile, is best known as the founder of Nethermind, one of Ethereum’s major software clients, which he grew from a small project into a global blockchain infrastructure company. Stańczak’s expertise in engineering and talent development is expected to strengthen the Foundation’s technical teams, and he’s even in the process of stepping down as Nethermind’s CEO to focus on this new role.
In practical terms, the new directors are expected to double down on technical R&D (like scaling improvements and protocol upgrades) and nurture the developer community, all while keeping Ethereum’s ethos of a permissionless and censorship-resistant financial platform intact.
Ethereum’s market performance has been on a full decline in recent weeks, which is an extension of its underperformance in the current market cycle. After a strong start to the year when the ETH price surged to about $3,700 in early January, the momentum has been of a decline for the past two months.
Notably, ETH’s lack of a bullish price momentum has been aggravated by Bitcoin’s price crash in the past week, which has flowed into the altcoin market. This fall in the price of Ethereum has been accompanied by a decline in on-chain activity and sentiment reaching a 12-month low.
Transaction volumes in late February dropped about 15%, to roughly $12 billion per day, the lowest in two months, while the number of active Ethereum addresses fell by 10% over the same period.
At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,210 and is at risk of breaking below $2,200 this week.
