SOURCE EVIDENCE

"ETH treasury companies are now funding Ethereum R&D, and their business models create explicit alignment between the protocol's success and the ETH price. Funding Ethereum R&D turns ETH treasury firms into actors in Ethereum's political economy, with incentives to push the protocol toward outcomes that increase ETH's institutional utility via settlement finality, monetary clarity, and DeFi liquidity depth."
