Lubin: Ethereum Foundation cuts are not a crisis

Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin told CoinDesk that recent budget cuts, staff departures and restructuring at the Ethereum Foundation are a necessary evolution, not a crisis. Lubin said the foundation's role should be narrower and focused on stewarding core technology and neutrality, while other organizations handle adoption and institutional engagement. He argued that emerging trends like AI-powered agentic commerce could drive the network's next wave of growth.
