The cryptocurrency markets are experiencing intriguing days. BTC hovers around the 105,000 dollar mark, while ETH remains stagnant. However, signals indicate that significant changes may be on the horizon for Ethereum 
$2,271’s governance.
Is Ethereum Splitting?
As this article was prepared, news emerged that Konstantin Lomashuk, founder of Lido Dao and P2PORG, has established a second foundation for Ethereum. Recent discussions surrounding the Ethereum Foundation have intensified with Vitalik Buterin signaling potential shifts in governance. Vitalik firmly stated that he holds primary authority within the Ethereum Foundation, countering some imposed demands.
Implications of a New Foundation
Now, the LDO founder is gearing up for a new Ethereum foundation. This development could be interpreted as a signal of a rift in Ethereum governance. Network development, hard forks, and more are currently managed by the Ethereum Foundation. If a second foundation, backed by the liquid stake platform LDO’s voting power, pushes its own network developments, the implications could be significant. Answers to these questions will emerge as both Konstantin and Vitalik Buterin clarify their positions following the official confirmation of the news.
At the time of writing, the price of LDO Coin has risen by approximately 7%. Meanwhile, ETH has decreased to 3,290 dollars.
