BlockBeats News, February 10th, a member of the Ethereum Foundation, ladislaus.eth, stated that Ethereum is undergoing a key but relatively low-profile architectural shift: moving from nodes re-executing all transactions in a block to confirming execution correctness through zkEVM proofs. The related proposal is supported by EIP-8025 (Optional Proof of Execution), allowing validators to opt for validating multiple-client zk proofs at the consensus layer instead of running a full execution layer, without requiring an upgrade or fork. This mechanism is expected to significantly reduce node hardware and sync costs, benefiting independent validators and home nodes, and laying the groundwork for future L1 execution scaling, ePBS (planned for the Glamsterdam upgrade), and native Rollups. The Ethereum L1-zkEVM roadmap aims for 2026, with the first dedicated conference scheduled for February 11th.

According to Odaily, the Bank Policy Institute, Clearing House Association, and Financial Services Forum have officially submitted a joint comment letter opposing direct access to the Federal Reserve payment system for crypto and fintech companies. The banking groups are requesting a 12-month observation period before relevant companies meet eligibility requirements, and are urging the Federal Reserve to deny access to regulated stablecoin issuers until they can demonstrate safe operations. Additionally, the banking industry has expressed concerns about the "streamlined account" proposal, believing it lacks safeguards against run risks posed by new types of companies. Currently, companies such as Circle Internet Group Inc. and Stripe Inc. are seeking to bypass partner banks through this proposal. Previously, President Trump signed the Genius Act in July 2025, but the regulatory framework for stablecoin operators has yet to be finalized.
