The Ethereum Foundation has made an additional investment of 2469 stETH (approximately $4.34 million) in Argot Collective, a non-profit research and development organization. This follows last year's support of 7000 ETH, at which time Argot sold 4826.6 ETH of the supported amount at an average price of $3194, securing approximately 15.42 million USDC. The Ethereum Foundation plans to provide the same amount of 2469 stETH as the final fifth round of operational funding in July next year.
