Ethereum allocates $120 million to lending protocols
Ethereum has been going through some leadership issues recently. It has been involved in the sale of ETH tokens to cover overhead costs, raising concerns among users demanding alternative solutions.

Ethereum allocated these resources to three DeFi platforms, putting 42.000 ETH in Compound, 10,000 in Spark, and the rest in Aave (20,800 in Aave Core, 10,000 in Aave Prime).
Aave is a well-known lending ecosystem directly linked to Ethereum. It has seen a surge in the past along with Ethereum's price movements.
Ethereum will reap substantial rewards by leveraging these lending protocols. According to the $1.5 supply rate, tokens will earn about $1.5 million per year. This change is creating a positive image in the community. In response, Vitalik welcomed these moves.
This is one of the Ethereum Foundation's responses to community concerns. However, Ethereum is still facing other challenges, which will test the platform and the team.
Because of leadership issues, recently Eric Connor, a key member of the development team, left the company.
Ethereum has shown a steady decline in prices in recent times.
However, analysts expect $ETH to rise again. The ETFs of ETH are flying as investors buy during the decline. However, this is not enough to trigger a new bullish momentum for the currency.
These lending protocols have the potential to change the fate of the EF. By changing strategy, the leadership has demonstrated a willingness to address community concerns.
