Grayscale urges US SEC to approve Ethereum ETF staking, saying it has missed $61 million in earnings

According to Bitcoin.com, asset management company Grayscale met with the SEC encryption working group on April 21 to apply to allow its Ethereum ETF (ETHE and ETH) to pledge operations. The company said that due to regulatory restrictions, the $8.1 billion in assets it managed had missed about $61 million in potential gains since the product was launched until February 2025. Grayscale has proposed three arguments: 1) Similar products in Europe and Canada have been successfully pledged; 2) Pledge can enhance Ethereum network security; 3) Risk control plans including "liquidity reserves". Coinbase Custody will provide technical support to avoid the risk of confiscation. Currently, the US spot Ethereum ETP cannot fully reflect the value of the underlying assets due to banning pledges. Grayscale calls on the SEC to update regulatory rules in accordance with traditional financial products.

3. Ethereum Foundation Researcher: The current Ethereum execution layer expansion roadmap is progressing smoothly

On April 28, Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter posted a statement on the X platform that the current Ethereum execution layer expansion roadmap is progressing smoothly, including continuous improvement of the Gas cap (EIP-7935), historical data expiration (EIP-4444), delayed execution (EIP-7886), block access list (EIP-7928) and block-level warm-up (EIP-7863). The Gas cap has been increased from 30M to 36M in the near future, and the future goal is to achieve 100M before the upgrade of Glamsterdam. The Netherlands team also launched a new test network, PerfNet, to test shorter time slots and higher Gas limits. The EIP-9698 proposal proposes to achieve Gas cap exponential growth within 4 years through default client voting.

5. QuantMaster, DeFi transaction and asset management project, has been confirmed to be stolen.

According to Golden Finance, a community member previously disclosed that a Web3 startup project had hundreds of thousands of USDTs transferred because the smart contract code contained a hard-coded authorized wallet address. It is reported that the DeFi transaction and asset management project QuantMaster has stated that it was a project party related to the stolen. It has been successfully reported. The suspect has basically been locked. The code submitted has a clear GitHub record (a employee). The device submitted the code is also unique. Cursor has a complete local AI record and has been viewed to rule out the possibility of AI modifying the relevant code.
