EF's move is pretty clever—packaging Ethereum as public infrastructure, with a sovereignty narrative that resonates more with governments than the DeFi pitch.

Coin World News, the Ethereum Foundation released a new policy guide on Wednesday aimed at positioning Ethereum as key public infrastructure for governments and institutions. The guide emphasizes that Ethereum's decentralized design makes it particularly suitable for sovereign digital systems, and explains how Ethereum operates, its governance structure, and why it is considered a more neutral alternative than centralized digital systems and competing blockchain networks. The report notes that many digital services rely on centralized intermediaries, which can lead to operational and governance risks and may become single points of failure. The report also highlights that Ethereum has maintained uninterrupted uptime since its launch in 2015 and notes that as of March 2026, approximately $76 billion worth of Ethereum has been staked.
